Comment (by cypherpunks):

 >But it's not clear to me that saying "session" would provide any more
 accuracy -- everybody brings their own assumptions to these words, and
 many of those assumptions don't apply well.
 I think "session" more close to actual action than "identity". With new
 session you probably expect "restart" of browser. Or lets to rename it to
 just "Restart Browser", it still technically is not entirely accurate but
 very close to what Torbrowser should to do by this button.

 >The main reason I'd suggest to stick with 'new identity' is because Tor
 users recognize the phrase by now.
 I believe it's accurate to assume that users can to learn something new,
 especially if new terms more close to reality.

 Then this button "Restart Browser", and yet one "New Circuit" placed on
 Navigation Toolbar could to resolve all confusions. "New Circuit" can to
 close active connection per tab(s) and should to send newnym signal using
 control connection.
