Two of the answers supplied are correct. The useage name would be a transfer switch. A double pole double throw (DPDT) switch would perform the function of a transfer switch. Of course a triple pole double throw (TPDT) would also work as a transfer switch.
Most transfer switches are used in environments where if the mains power fails, a generator comes on line and the transfer switch connects it to the users through the normal wiring. This way the transfer of wires from the mains to the generator can be considered transparent, and not be able to send power out to the mains where utility workers could be shocked.
I hope this clarifies the situation.

In the UK we would call that either a changeover switch, or a 2-way switch (as in lighting where you can turn the landing light on/off from either the top or bottom of the stairs)

It seems that you have a demon there. First thing to do is to make sure you have nothing related to the occult and spiritism at home. If you do, discard them. Is your faith in God strong? You can make it stronger by studying the Scriptures daily. The firmness of a wall depends very much on the strength of its foundation. In the same way, the firmness of our faith depends greatly on the strength of its base, which is accurate knowledge of God’s Word, the Bible. If we read and study the Bible daily, our faith will become strong. Like a strong wall, such faith will shield us from the influence of wicked spirits.—1 John 5:5. We live in a world full of demonism. So it´s important to heed the following advice: With every form of prayer and supplication . . . carry on prayer on every occasion in spirit.” (Ephesians 6:18) Of course, we need to use Jehovah’s name in our prayers. (Proverbs 18:10) Hence, we should keep on praying to God to deliver us from demon spirits (Matthew 6:13) Jehovah will answer such earnest prayers.—Psalm 145:19.

Dual-pole double-throw (DPDT) Cause it switches two wires between two outputs.
