If not, than you heve the monopole. But it is nothing wrong if in your
community it is call "dipole".

Hello Szczepan. The monopole and dipole aerials are definitely two
different
aerials and it would be wrong to call a monopole a dipole.

Monopole antenna: "One side of the antenna feedline is attached to the
lower end of the monopole, and the other side is attached to the ground
plane, which is often the Earth."

Dipole antenna: "A dipole antenna is a straight electrical conductor
measuring 1/2 wavelength from end to end and connected at the center to a
radio-frequency (RF) feed line. This antenna, also called a doublet, is
one of the simplest types of antenna, and constitutes the main RF
radiating and receiving element in various sophisticated types of
antennas. The dipole is inherently a balanced antenna, because it is
bilaterally symmetrical. Ideally, a dipole antenna is fed with a balanced,
parallel-wire RF transmission line"

The Hertz dipole was symmetrical.

The radio-amateurs use the name "dipole" for a monopole.
It is not wrong because they do not use the name monopole.

Hello Szczepan.
Your definition of a dipole is wrong. A dipole is not a "straight electrical
conductor measuring 1/2 wavelength ".
