What are these called?

[echokilo]

For example:

GRAMMAR ..... if you take the G from the front and put it at the end fo the word it still reads GRAMMAR if you read it backwards ....

Here is another DRESSER ..... move the D to the end and backwards it's still DRESSER.....

Is there a name for these?

Palindrome

[Bathsheba]

Are you sure paddywak? I thought a palindrome read the same front to back without moving any letters.

I've never come across a name for such words but I'll view them as "Echokilos" from now on. They are certainly not palindromes.

[echokilo]

Sorry but it's not a Palindrome - that's words like RADAR or CIVIC which read the same backwards as forwards with no moving of letters ...... but thanks for trying ......

[Bathsheba]

Erm.... isn't that what i just said, echo? xx

[echokilo]

Sorry Bathseba - your reply was not showing when I typed my response - neither was the anser from novalis .... must have crossed over in cyber space xx

[redcrx]

maybe thats why theyre called echo bathsheba! :)

[Bathsheba]

Good one, red! xx

I suppose many palindromes could go that way (radars, pupa) but I don't know of an official name for them.

Someone gave me a list of these as a puzzle. I'd describe them as a single letter FOLLOWED by a palindrome.
