There is no specific name. For example, if you number the sides of a regular hexagon sequentially from 1 to 6, then sides 1 and 3 are not parallel but there is no specific name for that pair. In the context of the hexagon they do not meet - even if they do so way outside the hexagon.
If they do meet up in the context of the shape, then they will be adjacent or intersecting sides.

Does a trapezium have any equal sides?
It can do. The non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezium will be equal. Also, one of the non-parallel sides could be equal to one of the parallel sides.
Does trapezium have parallel sides?
A trapezium has two parallel sides (of unequal length) and two non-parallel sides.
Do the two non parallel sides of a trapezoid are congruent then the trapezoid is isosceles?
Yes the non parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent
What makes parallel sides different from sides that aren't parallel?
Parallel sides are sides that (in a plane) do not meet whereas sides which are not parallel do meet at some point at an angle greater than 0°.
What 2D shape has a pair of parallel sides?
Any polygon with four or more sides can have a pair of parallel sides. It is also possible to to have non-polygonal shapes - eg a cigar-shape - that has parallel sides.
