I don't know anyone who calls it that, because it's not really much like Earth. If there's any planet that's usually regarded as Earth's "twin", it would be Venus, which is almost the same size. Mars is significantly smaller.

Mars is sometimes referred to as the "twin planet" to Earth because it is similar in size and composition. Both planets have rocky surfaces, polar ice caps, and evidence of past geological activity. However, Mars' atmosphere is much thinner and it lacks the abundant liquid water that is found on Earth.
