The proper term for it is : PALINDROME
Here is a set of words with 5 & 5+ letters in each:
1. Kerrek: (the name of a mythical beast; a large ogre-like creature)
2.Racecar
3.Hannah
4.Radar:
5.Madam
6.Madam I'm Adam

These words are called palindromes. The word palindrome is derived from the Greek palíndromos, meaning running back again (palín = AGAIN + drom–, drameîn = RUN). Another less famous term is "carcenic" words (cancer= crab) because crabs can move sideways in both directions (left and right).
Examples of such words are: racecar, deed, redivider, etc.
Also, there palindromes phrases, e.g. madam I'm adam.

It's a palindrome: Civic, rotator.
Also applies to sentences: 'Able was I ere I saw Elba', attributed to Napoleon, but since he didn't speak English, probably invented.

Agaga. That's something Retard Bush says. It's a palindrome.
