Various names
There appears to be some inconsistency in the naming of this card in the sources. Dummett (1980) tends to stick close to the native language and so he variously calls it a Cavall, Cavalier, Chevalier, Caballo and so on. Parlett (2008), in his introduction calls them Cavaliers and uses that term for most tarot/tarock games, but switches to Rider for Cego and Knight for Ottocento, Scopa and Hungarian Tarokk, presumably based on the nearest translation of the term used in the native language for those games. He also uses native names for some games. My sense is that, until further research is completed, we will not go too far wrong using the term Knight in games played with Spanish- and Italian-suited cards and Cavalier in games using French-suited cards (e.g. French Tarot and the Tarock family), always acknowledging the native term in brackets on first use.
