This cultural linguistic stuff is always so fascinating. It seems like gibberish to us, but you have to keep in mind that in the native language the name is just a really long clause that describes the place.

It's like if we named 2020 as "ThatYearWhenTheDemocratsWentBatshitCrazyAndTriedToBurnTheCountryDownButGotBackedTheFuckOffMAGATrumpTwelveMoreYears".

There is like a whole TNG episode about that. Where they meet an alien race that speaks in metaphors. So they don't say "hello, we'd like to get to know you" but instead something like "Thatdudestevethatmadelotsoffriends".
