What is the meaning of the word logits in TensorFlow?

In the following TensorFlow function, we must feed the activation of artificial neurons in the final layer. That I understand. But I don’t understand why it is called logits? Isn’t that a mathematical function?

loss_function = tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(
     logits = last_layer,
     labels = target_output
)
