It's like the the ladybug. It's called a bug, but it's not a bug; it's an insect. Or the firefly: it's not a fly, but a beetle. Reasons why it's named wrong things is for ease-of-recognition, for the fun of naming things, or simply because the one to found the species is nonsensical a la the rock chicken.
