English speaking security companies are not going to dick on their own governments. The reason they have nicknames for non-fiveeyes actors is because they're the ones they're allowed to track.
Would be interesting to know if there are chinese/russian names for american apts

One would like to think that there are designations for them. Non-governental "cybersecurity" institutions and organizations likely have monikers for some whose operations have been analyzed or studied in depth. If they are not common, we can start giving them designations here if you are all interested.
Is there a specific operation, event or otherwise that you have in mind?
