They were called LRVs (Lunar Roving Vehicles) and had no special name of their own, just "Rover".
There have been plenty of mars rovers. The names of the two rovers currently (2008) deployed by NASA are "Spirit" (at the Gusev crater) and "Opportunity" (at Merridiani).You can find more information about this mission at by visiting the link below.Spirit and Opportunity
There are currently no lunar buggies (rovers) on the moon. The Apollo Lunar Rovers from the 1970s were used for exploration and have not been operational since. In recent years, various countries and organizations have been working on developing new rovers for future missions to the moon.
Three, one each from Apollos 15, 16, and 17
The lunar rovers used on the moon were included in the lunar module, which carried them to the moon's surface. Once on the moon, the astronauts deployed the rovers to aid in their exploration of the lunar surface.

As of 2021, there are several active Mars rovers, such as Perseverance and Curiosity. In addition to Mars rovers, there are other robotic rovers deployed on celestial bodies like the Moon and other planets. The exact number of rovers in operation worldwide varies as missions launch and conclude.
The lunar rovers used on the moon were included in the lunar module, which carried them to the moon's surface. Once on the moon, the astronauts deployed the rovers to aid in their exploration of the lunar surface.
All the lunar rovers left by the Apollo astronauts are still on the lunar surface as there was no way to bring them back. There are three, but no currently operational roving vehicles.
The names of the two rovers exploring Mars are Spirit and Opportunity.
The Lunar Roving Vehicles (LRV's), commonly known as "Rovers" did not have call signs, or code names. When the capsule communicator at NASA in Houston needed to talk to an astronaut on the moon, he simply referred to him by name.The first Rover was driven by David R. Scott, the Commander of Apollo 15. Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 also carried Rovers. All 3 Rovers had television cameras which recorded not only the astronaut's activities while on the moon, but also the launch of the Lunar Module from the moon. The Rover television was controlled at NASA by Ed Fendell.
There are five lunar rovers still on the moon: the two unmanned Lunakhod rovers sent to the moon in 1970 and 1973, and the three manned Apollo lunar rovers sent during the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972.Q: Why couldn't the astronauts park their spaceship on the moon?A: Because it was full.
