I do not know of a specific name for a word's stressed syllable. However, sometimes people use the phrase "accented syllable" instead of "stressed syllable."
This metrical pattern is trochaic.

A pattern of stressed and unstressed sounds in language is called rhythm. This rhythmic pattern is created by organizing syllables into stressed (accented) and unstressed (unaccented) beats. It helps to create a natural flow and musicality in speech.
A stressed syllable can also be described as accented. A stressed word could also be described as emphasized.
This refers to the "rhythm" of a poem, the pattern associated with stressed and unstressed syllables in a line.This is different from meter which measures the audible features of poetry, and is described as the sequence of feet in a line.
That foot pattern is called a "dactyl." In dactylic meter, each foot consists of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables.
A "foot" in poetry refers to the metrical foot. It is a unit of measure used to analyze the rhythm of a poem, and is based on the qualities of the sounds of speech. A metrical foot is usually composed of what are referred to as "strong stresses" and "weak stresses." Weak stresses are usually short words or sounds which are pronounced quickly and with a lower tone, or pitch. Strong stresses are just the opposite. If you pay close attention, when you read a poem aloud, sometimes you may notice that the sounds you are making, reading the words, fall into a cadence, or rhythm, like "dah DUH, dah DUH, dah DUH, dah DUH, dah DUH." The "dah" would be a weak stressed syllable, and the "DUH" would be a strong stressed syllable. This particular combination (starting with one weak stress and continuing with one strong stress) is called an iamb, which is a metrical foot.
The repetition of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem or piece of writing is called meter, and it provides a beat or rhythm. Different types of meters include iambic (unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable), trochaic (stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable), and anapestic (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable), among others. The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables can create a musicality and flow in a poem.
