They are commonly called the "link local" addresses.
Routers are not allowed to forward packets sent from an IPv4 "link local" address, so they are always used by a directly connected device.
These addresses were assigned by the IETF, the organization that develops Internet protocols, in the Standards Track document, RFC3927, which can be found at:
