MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What is the real name for the cardboard sleeve on coffee cups?

Every time I get a coffee to go from somewhere and put one of those cardboard sleeves on the cup I always wonder if it has a real name besides “cardboard sleeve thingy”

It does! Some other actual terms for it are coffee clutch, coffee cozy, Java Jacket, and paper zarf. Paper zarf?! I’m definitely trying to ask for that next time just to see the look on the persons face.
