Yes, that's true. It's like we talk about the "Krotmag region" and so on 
we do so to clarify that it's a region for those who don't know that.

A terran without sufficient education would not know what "Sahara" means 
either, so a geography teacher would also say "This is the desert called 
Sahara".

(as a sidenote, Sahara is arabic for desert, but that's now going too 
far :-) )
