I guess it could be called a cuboid, but the corresponding circular shape called a spheroid has the dimension in 2 of the axes as the same. Perhaps it is called rectoid or rectohedron?

A rectilinear parallelepiped is a three-dimensional shape with six rectangular faces. It is also known as a rectangular prism.
The characteristics of a rectilinear parallelepiped include having six rectangular faces, eight vertices, and twelve edges. All of its faces are perpendicular to each other.
A rectilinear parallelepiped is different from other parallelepipeds because it has all right angles between its faces, while other parallelepipeds may have different angles between their faces.
Some examples of rectilinear parallelepipeds in real life include shoeboxes, books, and bricks.
The formula for finding the volume of a rectilinear parallelepiped is V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the shape.
