I think it is not so important to call Apache web server as apache2 in any
distribution.
The truth is that the proper name of Apache Web Server is httpd which is why
Apache Software Foundation call by this name.

We also let anyone who builds it specify the name of the binary, so

I'm very puzzled with this simple question: the name of the http server is
httpd

This is because, all apache documentation, in http.apache.org, refers to it as
httpd, however in my Ubuntu installation it appears to be apache2.

The Debian/Ubuntu distributions, or rather their Apache HTTPD package
maintainers, have renamed the binary to apache2, amongst other
modifications. This was mainly done to differentiate between Apache 1.x and
Apache 2.x, but its use is mostly void nowadays.
Some other changes and layout
