I think I've heard it most commonly referred to as a lunar cycle. That was the original meaning of the word "month", but most of us who use the Gregorian calendar think of one of the twelve segments of the Gregorian year when we hear that word. Other synonyms for a lunar cycle are a lunation and a synodic month.
