I've found two of these the last few days, one small (~1"), the other
several times larger. Just wondering what the proper name for them is.

Hmmm,
Something to do with a turn buckle?

Hmmm, not even close.

You are in the right area. It's a common threaded shackle pin, used
with a shackle for wire rigging and chains.

Actually, he is VERY close.

How is a turnbuckle (1 word) close to a clevis pin?

You can't really be this dense, can you?

So please explain to us how a turnbuckle--a device that uses a threaded
frame attached to two threaded rods to tighten the rods together--has
the slightest relation to a clevis and clevis pin, either functionally
or morphologically.

Go on. This ought to be good.

Apparently you are completely unfamiliar with rigging hardware.

OK- now you did it. What do you use their "Spring Hook" SHH-06 for?
They come in stainless, so I suspect marine use-- but I've never seen
anything like it.
[in the picture on the linked page it is the big wire thing on the
left side of the pic.- just above the clevised turnbuckle]

Actually, as it turns out I am. Does that make me dense? Stupid? Worthy
of being called names?

I still see little relation between turnbuckles and clevises, except
that some turnbuckles have clevises on their ends (which I didn't
know--so sue me).
