Hi, Sarra! You may be interested to know that I, with the help of a friend, arrived at the phrase convergent homonym independently of you, yesterday evening, 21.1.19, and additionally coined the phrase 'disparate homonym' (sounds a bit like 'Desperate Dan,' doesn't it?) for homonyms seemingly unrelated in meaning to each other, while noting that there is also a grey area (see e.g., *check* mate).
