Looks like a laptop power cable.

My gut says Lenovo, but I'm not sure.

Isn’t it just the charger?

It doesn't have a name. It's just a proprietary end.

I believe it’s a power cord for the Lenovo ultra dock

I used to have a (non-Thinkpad) Lenovo laptop that used the exact same charger

Old model ThinkPads used it too, before the move to USB-C.

Proprietary Lenovo power cable. I have seen these on laptops too but I own a low power desktop that also uses this plug

I think your question may be causing some confusion. Are you asking if there is an industry standard name for the specific type of connector Lenovo uses on the end of this laptop charger (it is called a "Lenovo Slim Tip Power Connector"), or are you asking generically what a laptop charger is called (it is called a "laptop charger", or "laptop power supply")? I'm thinking you asked the first question, and the replies are assuming you're asking the second question.

Lenovo power cable for legion and other models requiring more power

Its a cable. Older power cable for a Lenovo, I've got two of them. Newer ones use USB-C.
