https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilayer_perceptron

A “Classic” neural network, where every node from layer i is connected to every node on layer i+1

Multi-layer perception, synonym of neural network but perhaps with the additional implication that it is fully connected.
It‘s not a synonym for NNs. It‘s one specific NN architecture, consisting of an input layer, an output layer, and a number of hidden layers in between. It‘s feed-forward and fully-connected, as you said.
