There is no scientific name other than "thigh", which is in such common usage that it just doesn't sound very scientific, but it is. Note that the lower leg's scientific name is "crus". In anatomical terminology the "leg" is only that part of the body between the knee and the ankle and what we commonly called the leg is "the lower extremity".

The scientific name for the upper leg is the femur. The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, connecting the hip bone to the knee. It plays a crucial role in supporting body weight and facilitating movement.
