Perhaps it should be called parentForm (though that suggests too
strongly that the form is an actual parent in the DOM hierarchy) or
ownerForm?

Actually, it might be useful to allow an element to belong to more
than one form. What about a space-separated list of forms the way
"class" can be done today?
