Another name for the apocrypha books is the "deuterocanonical" books. This term is often used in the context of the Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions, which include these texts in their canon. In contrast, Protestant traditions typically refer to these writings as apocryphal, indicating that they are not considered part of the authoritative scripture.
