The only thing here is that he is from pre-conciliator times (as was Jonas) so it is not clear whether his alien name is indicative of his nature or the time he was named and alive.  Admittedly, Jonas was not entirely organic, but his OT name is distinct from the saint's names, so the naming system on pre-conciliator relics and leftovers like Typhon (who could have even assumed the name in his pretension to godhood as he ascended to temporal authority) is a wee bit ambiguous.
