Is there a term for the phrase “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” besides the Trinitarian formula/blessing?

The GIRM refers to it as the naming of the three Divine Persons.

 

[Aggies08]

Make “The sign of the Cross” before prayer, as we tell our children…?

 

[itullian]

the “sign of the cross”

 

[Mike30]

It would seem to me that sign of the cross is the best fit.

Most commonly and properly the words “sign of the cross” are used of the large cross traced from forehead to breast and from shoulder to shoulder, such as Catholics are taught to make upon themselves when they begin their prayers, and such also as the priest makes at the foot of the altar when he commences Mass with the words: “In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti”

The Gloria Patri is usually referred to as the lesser doxology
