A rotational “ambigram / inversion”*, is a word coined by Douglas Hofstadter, to mean a word or phrase written in such a way that it can be rotated 180 degrees to read as the same text. Hofstadter described it as “calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves.” The word image at the above right, for example, will read “rachel” from two vantage points. Try 
printing it out and spinning the paper. It’s quite the amusement. Wondering if your name is ambigramable? I found ambigrams for christopher, michael, matthew, ashley and others. A little google image searching should help there.
* from Latin ambi- “on both sides” and -gram “drawing”

A word coined by Douglas Hofstadter to mean a word or phrase written in such a way that it can be rotated 180 degrees to read as the same text coined by Douglas Hofstadter to mean a word or phrase written in such a way that it can be rotated 180 degrees to read as the same text is a rotational ambigram inversion*.
