There probably aren't any. An apostrophe is a "punctuation mark" and not a noun (like car) or a verb (like to jump) or an adjective (like happy). Punctuation marks usually do not have synonyms.

There is no other word for "apostrophe", and no other way to show possession other than using that punctuation mark.
