As far as I know if doesn't have a specific name. But here is wat it symbolizes: 'The end of the ceremony is signaled by the groom breaking a napkin-wrapped wineglass underfoot, in remembrance of the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and other Tragedies that have befallen the Jewish Faith.' Hope this helpes
