You may be thinking of the mizzen, which would be the third mast.
The third sail would be named based on the specific sailing rig, and on the arbitrary numbering of sails. For instance a brigantine rig could have 11 sails, the third one could be a topsail a gaff-rigged mainsail, a jib, a course, a fisherman etc.
