This dates to when cuffs were made separate from shirts so that they could be laundered more frequently than the rest of the shirt. For example, on a knitting website:

    If you want to be certain that you are referring to the version with just the thumb hole, you would probably call them wristlets, wrist-warmers or wristers.
