Well much like Saber kind of used to represent sword, I guess they did use lance to represent the spear..

However unlike saber (heroic spirit of the sword) which is a type of sword, Lance is a completely different beast from spear... they're used for crushing with momentum comparsd to spear which is used to pierce with sharpness and bludgeon people with centrifugal force.

It's basically on their description Saber is heroic spirit of sword, figuratively they're the Master sword. Meanwhils Lancer is heroic spirit of Lance... probably japanese not having Lancer tradition kinda played a role here for they lack spesific word for lance thus lance and spear are treated the same as Yari.. meanwhile as I recall there's 4 way to name a sword in japanese..

Tho as you said, Saber are the only noun among the 7 classes.. at least the other six can be intepreted as people who xxx.. saber belong to the rank of Alter ego or moon cancer..
