Is there a name for this loading animation?

Question

I can notice this animation looks like an default pattern, because I've seen it at so many apps and websites.

I would like to know what's the name of it but I can't find any results.

These are called Loading Dots. A simple Google search returned this. google.co.in/… — Swapnil Borkar, Commented Jul 5, 2016 at 11:49

They're called Preloaders. I originally googled for 'Ajax loading animation' to find that out. Plenty of results:

It is just a different take on a wait spinner, which is called a preloader and is sometimes called a Loading animation.

Preloaders come in all shapes and sizes.
