Gambrel styled construction question

If You picture the gable end, of a two story gambrel style house.. the small area between the first floors ceiling and the second story’s floor. Does that have a specific name?

Well it was a 50/50 between joist or rafter I guess, lol. Thanks. Wanted to make sure my next post used the right term

I's a floor joist if you're standing on the 2nd floor, a ceiling joist if you're in the 1st.

It's not a rafter at all
