I believe what you’re describing are “permanent magnets”. Here are some usage examples: https://nationalmaglab.org/magnet-academy/plan-a-lesson/magnetizing-and-unmagnetizing/ https://www.meadmetals.com/blog/types-of-magnetic-metals-list https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/nvim3d/eli5_why_are_iron_cobalt_and_nickel_magnetic_but/ e: “Ferrous” refers to iron specifically. Ferromagnetism was named after iron’s magnetic property.
