Congruence is the state achieved by coming together, the state of agreement. The Latin congruere means to come together, agree. As an abstract term, congruence means similarity between objects. Congruence, as opposed to equivalence or approximation, is a relation which implies a kind of equivalence, though not complete equivalence.

Wikipedia has this definition of "congruence": "In geometry, two sets of points are called congruent if one can be transformed into the other by an isometry, i.e., a combination of translations, rotations and reflections. Less formally, two figures are congruent if they have the same shape and size, but are in different positions (for instance one may be rotated, flipped, or simply placed somewhere else)." That being the case, your question boils down to whether there is a standard convention in labeling triangles. I'm not aware of any, though I certainly stand to be correct on that point.
