Rolling along balancing on the front wheel is called a "nose manual".
If it's braking to a stop while balancing on the wheel it's a "stoppie".
If it's braking to a stop suddenly with the rear wheel lifting and no front wheel rolling it's called an "endo".

Isn’t it an endo only if the rider’s center of gravity goes forward beyond the center axis of the stationary front tire while the rider has forward momentum to spare? Otherwise it could still be a stoppie.

I've always seen endo used as the trick where you balance your weight over the front wheel, even 20 years ago, from many sources. It's commonly used as a dedicated move or part of other tricks like 180° pivots on the front wheel. Even if the origin is from uncontrolled spills, endo is definitely not exclusive to crashing.
