Because it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has many related names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. The term "baking soda" is more common in the United States, whereas "bicarbonate of soda" is more common in Australia and Britain. In many northern/central European countries the term used is "Natron" and can often be found near "baking powder" in stores. In colloquial usage, the names sodium bicarbonate and bicarbonate of soda are often truncated; forms such as sodium bicarb, bicarb soda, bicarbonate, and bicarb are common.
