They're normally called "greater than symbol" and "less than symbol". I don't think there is any other name.

The same signs are used in a different context as brackets . In this case, they are left angle bracket "<" and right angle bracket ">". These names would not be suitable when using them as inequalites.

The ">" symbol means "Greater than". The "<" symbol means "Less than".

Hope this helps you!
