Another name for LaTeX depends on whether you mean natural latex or LaTeX typesetting software. For natural latex rubber, other names include natural rubber latex, rubber latex, natural rubber, caoutchouc, and Hevea latex from rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis, and synthetic latex is called styrene butadiene rubber or SBR latex. For LaTeX typesetting software, another name or related names include TeX, as LaTeX is built on top of TeX, so TeX is base system created by Donald Knuth, LaTeX is macro package on TeX, so TeX is predecessor. LaTeX2e is current version name, LaTeX3 is future version. Sometimes people call it Tex, LaTeX document preparation system, or just latex. So another name for natural latex is natural rubber or rubber latex, for LaTeX software another name is TeX or LaTeX2e. If you mean latex paint, another name is acrylic latex or water based paint. If you mean latex gloves, another name is rubber gloves. So context matters, but natural latex also called rubber latex, and LaTeX software also called TeX or LaTeX2e.
