The word "Informatics" had been invented by a Soviet computer scientist
Andrey Ershov several decades ago  as a name for his view on
Information Theory. In Russian, it is Информатика,
Informatika, by analogy with Mathematics, Математика. It is
widely used ever since both in russian-language literature and in many
other languages and countries.

It is a better name than either Information Theory or Computer Science
for the discipline.
