Fantasy games use different names, but in warfare, generally, combatants are simply named by whatever they do, or what weapon they carry.
We've got Bowmen, Swordsmen, Spearmen, even Riflemen, and Cannoneers. Mage is literally 'one using magic'.
So in the sense that the 'term', realistic, shoehorned or otherwise, for 'taking attention and mitigating damage' has become 'tanking', then it is fine to call them 'tanks'.
We can't call them Shieldmen, because they don't all use shields, but historical precedent indicates that this was done too (Hoplites). And Ashes doesn't force you to wear heavy armor...
If it did, there would be a simple solution.
We would just call them Mailmen.
