I don't think I've ever heard that fastener called an Allen bolt, just the tool (Allen key). I've generally heard them called hex sockets heads. Maybe it's a regional thing?
Allen is a brand name, they’re hex keys/wrenches
Yeah you are right
Positive affirmation 🥰🥰
Fun fact speaking of regional things, in Swedish they are called "insex" (as in six on the inside)
In Dutch they are called "inbus", which apparently comes from the German name "Innensechskantschraube Bauer und Schaurte", where Innensechskantschraube means inside six sided screw and Bauer und Schaurte is the company who patented the screw type.
I have no idea how the name inbus came to be
Innensechskantschraube Bauer und Schaurte probably

Well yeah but still, who would think of that?
Germans apparently
But the german name is just innensechskant
Maybe, I do hear hex a bunch
