Wow, they really are just like humans!
That’s actually pretty nuts.
The new research was published in pre-print on bioRxiv and is waiting to clear peer review.

I remember this being a known thing with dolphins too, but maybe that’s just one of those things you learn as a kid and trust forever
From the second paragraph of the article:
These remarkable findings position elephants as the first non-human animals to use a form of address that doesn’t mimic the receiver’s call, a trait previously observed in dolphins and parrots.
It appears dolphins have a “signature whistle” that they produce and other dolphins use this like a name. Sort of like if you enter a big room and yell out “Wazzup” and then everyone starts calling you Wazzup.
Elephants appear to be different, seems like they will name other elephants. Sort of like you enter a big room, the other people notice you’re short and everyone starts calling you Shorty.
