Either owned box (a dynamic allocation owned by a pointer) or owning pointer (a pointer owning a dynamic allocation) is accurate. On the other hand, the term 'owned pointer' doesn't make sense as even references and `Rc<T>` are an owned *pointer*, but the ownership relationship doesn't pass through them.
