I've always heard non-custodial used to refer to a wallet where _I_ don't custody my own Bitcoin. And self-custody means that _I_ custody my own Bitcoin my_self.

Custodial = someone is managing it for you.

Non-custodial is the same concept as self-custody: you manage your wallet yourself.

Right. A "custodian" is someone responsible for the safekeeping and/or management of property or information _on behalf of another_. Properly speaking we do not "custody" our own property--we just...have it ourselves.
