by the look of it the assassins are a covert group meaning they wont have a name, as if they became a known organisation or known by a name it would be easy for the templars to take down any of their operations, were by the assassins remaining covert they can infiltrate existing groups to get information without being found.

but the templars have power so they will have multiple overt operations running as front's to allow them to do things such as the animus test's.

Abstergo is Latin for 'to cleanse', a very crusaderly word.

I tend to assume the Assassins have no official cover.

Since Altair decided they should get rid of the fortress and be more subtle and the fact that Mario tells Ezio that they aren't out there as the old Assassins they are just as comitted. So i daresay they stuck with the hidden organisation.
