The moon is roughly a sphere, just like the earth.
During the moon's phases it may appear to be either a circle, crescent, half-circle, or other shape (called gibbous). This is caused by the shadow of the earth covering the moon by differing amounts at different times during the month, not by the moon actually changing shape.
The general term for the visible lit part of the moon is "the phase of the moon." The visible lit portion can have a crescent shape, a gibbous shape or a "half-moon" (half circle) shape.
The Moon's shape on Monday would have been a waxing gibbous, which appears as a rounded shape with a larger illuminated portion compared to a first quarter Moon.
