Hello Rolando. I would vote for "Authorized Version".

In the U.K. ( Britain) they say/use the term "Authorized Version" or "AV". I think that is a good idea. The Triniterian Bible Society Bibles on the spine usually do not have anything except "Holy Bible" , and their newest edition says "Classic Reference Edition" . Cambridge and Oxford Press Bibles aimed at the U.S.A. market put "King James Version" on the boxes and the spines, but the ones sold in Britain ( and I think the British Commonwealth countries) say "Authorized Version" on theirs.

If anyone needs/wants to know who Authorized the translation... they can open up the front of the Bible and read the "Epistle Dedicatory".

Often it confuses several new/baby Christians when they think that a British King translated a Bible... and the Romanists/Jesuits still to this day love to insult the Authorized Version when they sneer out of their mouths: " King James' Bible ".

You may or may not know this { I always assume some new believer is reading the websites } --- But King James ( a new King of England and also King of Scotland ) was trying to have a Standard Version of the Bible that could be read in all the Churches/Kirks/Chapels in the land... a very good idea IMO. The gents who worked on the translation labored long and well. They took their jobs seriously. So did the new sitting Monarch King James VI of Scotland/James the 1st of England --- who was following the Reign of Queen Elizabeth ... who besides being the head of Government, is also called "The Defender of the Faith". By authorizing the one standard edition of the Bible to be used in the various Churches --- He helped to keep the foul rotten Jesuits and their Mary-worshiping pals across the English Channel, and Britain not under the chains of Popery, and bread worship.
