Naming CN-

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a difference between cyanido and cyano? The book uses cyanido while the course reader uses cyano. Would it be wrong if we used one instead of the other? Thanks!

I do believe that cyano and cyanido are the same thing, just cyano is the old way of naming CN-.
