Sometimes it's called "derivation". In Grassman algebra you call it the exterior derivative. Ultimately these are all motivated by trying to find "the" derivative in different contexts and eventually greater and greater generalities... So despite the mild opportunity for confusion they really are in a sense each named "derivative".
