"Jamais vu" is another term for it.

Is it?
Wikipedia says:

Jamais vu is often described as the opposite of déjà vu

which is quite different.

Effectively it's a more general version of it. Not specific to words and not specific to the why we feel this way. You're right it's not the same thing. But I meant that it's another way to name the effect you're experiencing.
