I just checked Felix Krohn again (well it is a bit outdated book but the
best I could find here in the library) and he calls it "oktaava" :
Korkeimmalla sävelalueella käytetään 8va---- (oktaava) merkintää viivaston
yläpuolella...
I think we could just put it "oktaava merkintä".
Note that he does a distinction in this way between oktaavi (Octave) and
oktaava (Ocatvation ?). I guess the word is taken from the italian/latin
origin.
