Boulders that have been carried by a glacier have a couple names, but most commonly they are referred to as glacial boulders or erratics.
If you're interested in learning more about glacial boulders, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has a pretty good article about them; as Iowa and most of the American Midwest were covered by glaciers during the last Ice Age, glacial boulders are fairly common there.

What does the existence of erratic boulders suggest about an area?
erratic boulders means that a glacier passed over this area. The boulders may have been the side of a mountain or part of a cliff but the power of the glacier broke it down and off and then moved it. When the glacier receded, the boulders were left behind. They are often found in areas where there are no mountains or cliffs...they are geologically different from the bedrock. Geologists can often match erratic boulders up with their place of origin which may be many miles away. They range in size from stone size to house size.
