Is an irrevocable trust a living trust?
Yes. There are two types of trusts, living (intervivos) and testamentary. The living trust is created by a living person(called the settlor or trustor). The testamentary trust is created by the will of a deceased person. Living trusts are designated as either revocable or irrevocable depending on the authority of the settlor. If the settlor has the power to cancel or revoke the trust, it is a revocable trust. If the settlor has no power to revoke it then it is an irrevocable trust. Since the revocable/irrevocable distinction is determined by what the settlor can do while he or she is alive, the trust had to have been made during the settlor's lifetime. Hence, an irrevocable trust is a living trust. On the other hand a trust that is set forth in a person's will is revocable during the life of the testator simply by a modification of the will through a codicil. Once the testator has died that trust becomes irrevocable.
How to properly name a revocable living trust?
To properly name a revocable living trust, use your full name as the grantor followed by the words "Revocable Living Trust" and the date it was created. For example, "John Smith Revocable Living Trust, created on January 1, 2022."

What is the difference between a living trust and a revocable living trust?
A living trust is a trust that exists and is operational during your lifetime. Such a trust may be set up for many different purposes and may be revocable or non-revocable.A trust that doesn't become active until your death is called a testamentary trust as distinguished from a living trust.By far, the most common living trust is a revocable living trust. "Revocable" mean it may be terminated at will by any of the persons who created it. The primary reason these trusts are created is to avoid probate court after the death of the person(s) who created or set up the trust. There are many other benefits of such trusts, such as avoidance of estate taxes for the heirs, creating special needs trusts for heirs with difficulties, disinheriting heirs, protecting family businesses, and many others, but avoiding probate is almost always the principal reason for a revocable living trust.Non-revocable, or irrevocable trusts are generally used for transfer of assets during one's lifetime, often for tax purposes. For example, an irrevocable trust could be established to provide income to certain heirs during their lifetime, with the assets going to charity after the heir's deaths. This is often used to avoid estate taxes. The creator, however, cannot revoke and usually may not change the terms of the trust or take back the assets. They are no longer owned by the creator of the trust.The principal difference between the two types of living trusts is that with a revocable trust, the creator of the trust can terminate the trust and regain ownership of the trust assets; and with a irrevocable trust, the creator of the trust gives up ownership and control of the assets and the trust cannot be revoked. There may be exceptions to this general explanation, but these are the principal distinctions.For specific answers to personal situations, it is always best to consult with a local attorney with experience is this area of the law.
