That is entirely possible, and it's an interesting line of speculation, but I think the most straightforward answer is that there are only so many words. I actually remember working on a Dishonored OC and trying to find a name for him that specifically wasn't Biblical, because there was no Bible in the Dishonored universe. Come to find out, though, that a lot of the names in Dishonored are Biblical--Samuel, Delilah, even Daud (as a derivative of David). Our language is so deeply affected by our own pasts that it's difficult, maybe impossible, to create a fantasy lexicon completely free of real-world influences.

That said, I do like the idea of Tyvia having its own mythology surrounding "demons". I can totally see early Tyvia settlers creating an entire mythos about the unknown that lurks in the wastelands, and maybe even drawing a connection between them and the Void. Hmmm~
