From Merriam-Webster: Transverse - made at right angles to the long axis of the body
moment about x axis in this case could be referred to as the transverse moment.

I tend to agree with structSU10 that the moment of a slab spanning in the short direction would be a transverse moment. A moment is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction and is sometimes represented by a double headed arrow. The direction of a transverse moment is parallel to the long dimension of the body.
