Not a nickname, but what they themselves called it was Hellas, after its legendary founder Helen (a male). They called themselves Hellenes. If you want a nickname, it's Greek - the Romans started calling the Hellenes Greeks when they mistook the Greeks in southern Italy for a tribe called the Graeci, and the name has stuck, but Greeks even today call themselves Hellenes.
