Is there a special name for a continuous one-dimensional domain/set that wraps around on itself?
Example 1: The set of unit vectors in $mathbbR^2$.
Example 2: The set of points on a square.
Example 3: $[0,2pi)$ with an additional link between $0$ and $2pi$.

"Connected, compact 1 dimensional manifold" describes what you want.

Why not "a topological circle"?

You could say $[0,1]$ is a connected, compact 1 dimensional manifold with boundary. The other comments do a better job answering your question, topological circle is the best terminology.

It needs to be one-holed in some sense (if you don't want to allow multiwraps).
