The name of the curve is cochleoid (= shell-shaped rather than cardioid = heart-shaped).

I compare the two below (gold = cochleoid, blue = cardioid). The distinction shell/heart refers to the additional windings remarked upon by მამუკა ჯიბლაძე , without these windings the two shapes would be qualitatively the same.
