Koloktos may be derived from "koło ktoś", a Polish phrase meaning "Round One". This can refer to its round torso and orb-like red cores. Its Japanese title {{Romanize|魔蝕神器ダ・イルオーマ|Ma Shoku Shinki Da Iruōma}}, meaning "Demon-tainted Sacred Instrument: Dah Iruouma", reflects its state as being possessed by Ghirahim's demonic energy, while also being a sacred vessel or tool (i.e. an instrument) of the Goddess, used to protect the Sacred Flame of Farore hidden within the Ancient Cistern. This is also reflected in the localizations of other regions, who refer to it as a "golem" — an artificially created human being out of Hebrew legend, which is blessed with life; as a "guardian" (it was built to guard the Sacred Flame); and an "artefact" (i.e. artifact), defined as "an object (such as a tool or ornament) showing human workmanship or modification as distinguished from a natural object."<ref>{{Cite Web|url= https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/artifact |title= Artifact |site= Merriam-Webster.com}}</ref> | Koloktos may be derived from "koło ktoś", a Polish phrase meaning "Round One".
