The better term would be "rust resistant", but the term "stainless" is so ingrained that it will never be changed. And for most purposes, it really is stainless or rust proof. Having just completed the "honeydew" job of polishing the "good" silverware for Turkey day dinner, I can darn well tell you that stainless steel is a LOT better. But the silver sure looks great, if I do say so myself.
