I imagine after being dumped into the middle of some underground system for an extended length of time, you’d start to deify just about anything.
Beledar seems as good for that purpose as any, especially to a group of particularly religious folk.

Almost every celestial event we have has a scientific name and a human name. Just look at Orion’s belt or the Milky Way. We call it the north star while somewhere there’s probably some super scientific name for it. Mufasa could explain it more eloquently.

For the same reason that there are barren rocks and balls of gas in our solar system with names. Because people name things.

Names can still have translations to specific words or phrases. Maybe Beledar means “glowing phallic object” in a tongue that’s related to the Arathi.
