In probability theory, integration theory, as well as electrical engineering, "distribution function", unless further clarified, means that cumulative thing.
In math, nomenclature overloading can be a problem. So context matters. In the context of dirac delta, distribution means something else entirely -- generalized functions.
Oh! So sad you deleted your point about densities. One can only laugh at and enjoy these idiosyncrasies of nomenclature.
In Electrical Engineering one uses j for imaginary numbers because i is taken (by current).

It's right in the title.
