Converging lens is a convex lens.
when a beam of light is passed through the convex lens it converges the beam of ligth.hence convex lens is called a converging lens.

Your are mixing properties. Converging lens is always thicker in the centre and thinner at the edges. The other cathegory is the geometry of shape of the surfaces of the lens. Convex means that the shape is similar to the outer surbace of a sphere, concave means that the shape is similar to the iner surface of a sphere (or: convex = lower side of a spoon as we use it for sampling a soup; concave: upper (inner) shape of the spoon). A double convex lens is always a converging lens. A plano-concave lens is always a diverging (not converging) lens. A convexo-concave lens is the most usual shape of a lense used in spectacles. It can be either converging or diverging, depending on the radii of the surfaces.
The convex lens bulges out at the center, while the concave lens bulges in at the center. The convex lens magnifies, while the concave lens reduces.

The answer is both convex and converging
A converging lens is also known as a magnifying lens. The shape of the lens is a double convex shape.
