$M = \left({\R^n, d}\right)$ is called a Euclidean $n$-space.

Bear in mind that Euclid himself did not in fact conceive of the Euclidean space as defined here. It is called that because the geometric space which it gives rise to is Euclidean in the sense that it is consistent with Euclid's fifth postulate.
