I want to replace a wooden gate in my yard, in a 3 row
split rail fence. I am providing pics of the gate and the hinges. I
believe the name of the hinge type is something and pintle.

The word you are looking for is lunette (lunette & pintle---used in
the trailer hitching business)

More probably the terms are pintle and gudgeon,
the traditional way of fastening a rudder to a boat
so it can hinge freely in both directions, see

To replace a gate hinge, if no specialist carpentry
store is nearby, a boatyard may supply your needs
better than an auto or trailer dealer.
