Until around 20 years ago ,most cars had mirrors towards the front of the car on the wings and these were wing mirrors.
In the 1980s they started putting the mirrors on the doors and these are door mirrors

Side mirrors or WIng mirrors. If the mirror is on the door (they used to be quite often on older cars) then door mirrors.

They used to be on the wings and called wing mirrors, now they are on the doors and are called door mirrors.
In another 20 years they will be on the boot and will be called boot mirrors.

In the UK they are known as "wing mirrors"
In the 1950s 60s and parts of the early 70s, They were mounted on the front wings.
They were a pain in the backside as when overtaking it appeared that other cars were a long way behind, when in fact they were very close.
The name has just stuck.

Within the motor industry (new car development) they are referred to as OSRVMs, which stands for OutSide Rear View Mirrors.
However, outside the industry they are more commonly called door mirrors (if mounted on the doors) or wing mirrors (if mounted on the wings or windscreen pillars).
