There's clips out there that look like little keyrings. Or maybe two-
turn springs.

What's their real name if I were to go searching for something on Amazon
or other hardware suppliers?

I've ordered them before off ebay and they're called key rings, split
rings . Searching amazon for "split rings" turns up loads of the items I
think you're after.

I think they're generally called split rings. That's what we
fishing-lure makers call them:

I'll echo the "split ring" designator.

Split ring. If you are looking for smallish ones look at fishing tackle
craft suppliers. Barlow's, LureCraft, etc.

I've seen such when looking for Belleville washers.

Not a Belleville washer. They're shaped like shallow cones.

I know, but when I was searching for Bellvilles I saw something like the
2-turn springs that Tim is looking for. Tim didn't expand on his
application. BTW, Bellvilles are one of those "magic" components that
the inventor deserves a special place in heaven.

Split ring.

I attach my phone case to a carabiner with a split ring.
I then clip the carabiner to my belt loop. While mowing
the lawn today, I got the phone caught on something, it stretched
out the split ring into an egg shape. I would have expected my
belt loop to give up before that.
