I think it is pinch off voltage because the region may be cut off region but at Vgs = pinch off voltage even if Vds is zero the depletion region is maximum and drain current is zero. Also the voltage at which Id is zero is cut off voltage.

id=idss(1-vgs/vt)^2
when vgs=vt id=0
vgs=vt occurs in cutoff region only
