FrenchBabyFace, I don't think that is correct; at least not in English.
According to www.m-w.com:
==================================
Main Entry: 1an·a·gram
Pronunciation: 'a-n&-"gram
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from Middle French anagramme, from New Latin anagrammat-, anagramma, modification of Greek anagrammatismos, from anagrammatizein to transpose letters, from ana- + grammat-, gramma letter -- more at GRAM
1 : a word or phrase made by transposing the letters of another word or phrase
2 plural but singular in construction : a game in which words are formed by rearranging the letters of other words or by arranging letters taken (as from a stock of cards or blocks) at random
==================================
Although I suppose you could argue that reversing the letters is a limited subset of anagram.
BTW, anagram example:

I'm Ross. Pleased to meet you.
Apparently that's an anagram for Sors, which could either be a condiment or a disease... -

Hi from one evil to another!
Off topic: apparently there is no name for this specific kind of "mirror" anagram "evil" >< "live".
Of course the two words put together ("evil live" or "live evil") would make up a palindrome, a phrase which could be read forward and backward with the same meaning (a superlative form of which being the classic latin "magical square": "sator arepo tenet opera rotas," which can be read at least four ways).

Perhaps just something to add to the long history of human boredom...

When my mother dies I will have to arrange her funeral according to the requirements outlined in her will. That means I will have to arrange for her funeral service to be given by Jehovah?s Witnesses. They will attend, and they will shun me
I know I'll have to do the same. However, I will be holding my own memorial for my mother which will NOT be held in a Kingdom Hall. At the memorial I put together, all worldly relatives will be able to share eulogies and memories. Family will have the option of going to the Kingdom Hall, my memorial, or both.
