    The Chancellor’s ship was called Kronos One in Undiscovered Country, made while Roddenberry was alive. I remember from promotional material at the time that it was named for the homeworld.

      That is correct, but it wasn’t necessarily linked to the name of the Klingon homeworld (more like something to be assumed), and it was also spelled differently.

      Sometimes the origins of certain names isn’t exactly clear or clean cut

        This is like getting upset about Türkiye or Naoero. Typical Federation arrogance, trying to tell the mighty Klingon Empire their preferred transliteration is wrong!
