If you mean the name of the single continent which existed prior to continental drift, it's Pangaea.

Supercontinent is a term used by paleogeographers to describe a single landmass consisting of all (or most of) the modern continents.

The best known, most recent global supercontinent was the aforementioned Pangaea, but continental drift was occuring for billions of years prior to its formation. Earlier supercontinents (Vaalbara, Rodinia and Panottia amongst them) have been posited.
