I know this is an old thread, but the approved answer is now incorrect and this is still the top Google link for this question, so in new versions of Elementary OS, the terminal is called io.elementary.terminal

For the new version elementary 5.1 Hera the correct command to launch a termianl is
io.elementary.terminal -n

For fish terminal users, need run
