When a solid changes physical state directly to a gas, we call this change sublimation.

Solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) will sublimate directly into a gas (carbon dioxide).

Napthalene (moth balls) sublimates to permeate stuff you want to protect from moths

"Freezer burned" foods have lost moisture through sublimation

solid->gas = sublimation

gas->solid = deposition

gas->liquid = condensation

liquid->gas = vaporization

solid->liquid = melting

liquid->sold = freezing
Evaporation directly from solid phase to gas phase is called sublimation. A common example of this is frozen carbon dioxide ("dry ice") where you can see this happening.
generally substances don't change from solid to gaseous state but there are some substances which don't have a well defined liquid state like the camphor .so when heat is supplied to such substances they directly enter gaseous state.
There are several substances that go from a frozen state directly to a gas state. The most common is carbon dioxide which is some times used to preserve frozen food when shipped. The process of going from a solid to a gas is known as sublimation and the substance is said to "sublime".the substances that can sublime are naphthalene,CO2[dry ice],ice or snow,iodine,arsenic,ammonium chloride etc
If the question is what that process is called, then it is 'Sublimation'. It means when a solid phase is directly changed into gaseous phase without changing into liquid phase. It occurs at temperature and pressure below the triple point of the substance.

Deposition is the phase change in which a substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without passing through the liquid phase. It occurs when the temperature of a gas decreases to such an extent that particles lose energy and come together to form a solid.
