In french these female figures are often called 'naïades', perhaps used in general after the coupe 'Les Naiades' from Verlys but can also be found on different productions and people call them the same. They're different on the other productions though and 'Made in France' is often associated with Choisy-le-Roi.

In English, Naiade or Nyade, Anne.  :)
They're the water nymphs; as opposed to the Dryads, the spirits of the trees and woods.
