baby's breath
At least in the U.S., this is what we call it. No idea if it's used in other English-speaking countries.

It appears that the Spanish term is used to refer to several different types of similar looking flowers, whereas the English term is narrower, and applies only (or almost only) to plants in the Gypsophila family. But for most purposes, I think "baby's breath" is the term you want.
