The Gandiva (IAST: Gāṇdīva; Sanskrit: गाण्डीव) is a bow given to Arjuna by Agni, God of Fire in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Arjuna intervened on the behalf of the gluttonous and sickened Agni, who needed to consume a forest to heal himself. The bow was used by Arjuna to prevent Indra, the King of the Gods, from causing rain to snuff out Agni's fire and thus allow him to consume the forest. Agni then granted this bow to Arjuna, which he used it to slay many warriors, including Karna.

What bow was used at the Swayamvara of Draupadi?
Many celestial weapons in the Mahabharata had names, but I don't think the bow at the Swayamvara of Draupadi has one. The reason I say this is that Arjuna, who won the bow, didn't use it; the name of his bow was the Gandiva ("that which cannot be taken away") which was given to Arjuna by the god Agni after helping him consume a forest. At the end of the Mahabharata, when the five Pandavas trekked up the Himalayas to ascend to heaven, Arjuna returned Gandiva to Agni but throwing it into a lake occupied by the water god Varuna. I didn't really answer your question though :-/
