Hi Lan,

You can put a little topspin on your block by just going forward and over the ball a little on contact.  Instead of cntacting the ball flat you brush the top of the ball slightly.

There doesn't need to be a name for it, but you can call it a block spin if you like.  If you put more topspin on it, you could call it a counter topspin.
