I want a name of teleportation that's more appropriate for a fantasy setting, and doesn't carry any modern, sci-fi, or comicbook baggage.
The character in question can "feel" space and matter around her, and move to another spot instantly, without crossing the intervening space, as an act of will. It does take some energy and concentration, but isn't a spell or other learned magical skill -- it's an inborn talent due to her unique parentage.

If you've decided on a specific SFX for how TPort works in general in your setting, such as travel via a specific extradimensional space, that opens up more campaign oriented options as well (obviously)...
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.

First edition Fantasy Hero called it Transport.
Edit: A couple of sources have called it "jaunting".

Finding the cracks in reality.
Pretty much any Amber description of shadow travel as already pointed out.
