I found a thread in Twitter where they show a pass by Lionel Messi.

Next messages show others players performing it such as David Silva.

Is there a specific name for this kind of pass or is it just a pass with the outside of the foot?

The technique of putting curl on a ball with the outside of the foot is known as a trivela, which is a Portuguese term. Another notable example would be Roberto Carlos' bending free kick against France in 1997.

There is as far as I know no specific word for a pass with the outside of the foot specifically.
