Same reason at Erbert's and Gerbert's they sell a Narmer and a Gerf. It's just a name the manufacturer chose at random so this would be identifiable as a specific pulley like the "Code3" etc.

Not looking like it's going to happen with one with rolled threads like I was trying to have done. So it's off to the machine shop to see what a few of them will cost with cut threads. For this application, don't think it will be an issue but it was originally made with rolled threads so I figured I'd try to keep it that way.
