Which largest body of water is actually a lake, despite its name?

Caspian Sea

Background

The Caspian Sea is really the world's largest lake, not a real sea. It has no link to the ocean and its water is salty, but less so than the sea. Five countries surround it. A clever naming trick of geography.
