Is a single wire terminal just a hole in the board where you solder a wire?
If so then I would use probably use the testpoint name ---

TP + pad size in metric + hole size in metric + height in metric.

When I need to solder a wire to a board I usually put in a Vector pin
(K24A or similar)
and solder the wire to the pin.
