Why does Apocalypse have a Arab name if he was born way before the Arab conquest of Egypt

Comic Discussion

En Sabah Nur is a Arab name meaning the first light. But he was born before the Arab conquest.

In the Krakoan era he adopted a new Krakoan name. So you could say that En Sabah Nur wasn’t his original name but something he adopted during the Arab conquest of the region.
