Wasn't only the first of those actually called Aqua? I don't recall exactly when Apple officially retired that designation, but it was well before the current era.

Internally, even the current UI is referred to as Aqua. Or more specifically, aqua and darkAqua, depending on if dark mode is desired.

I don't know, but I've seen some people use "Aqua" to refer to the design through 10.4, through 10.9, or through the present day.
