This is one of those questions which is basically impossible to google.
Perhaps because there is no answer. Anyways...

  Does the style of poetry where the first verse is repeated as the last
verse have a name?

  The idea of repeating the first verse as the last verse of the poem can
make it very profound and powerful, IMO. An absolutely superb example by
Tolkien:

    The way is shut
    It was made by those who are Dead
    And the Dead keep it
    Until the time comes
    The way is shut
