Yes, slightly - RFC 9110 ("HTTP Semantics") calls them "header fields" and "trailer fields," and it calls "headers" and "trailers" colloquialisms. In a nod to gRPC-style usage, the section on trailer fields even says, "Trailer fields can be useful for supplying...post-processing status information."
