--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Not a bug. We do not maintain English names or translate characters to any
other language. Rather, we observe the current Unicode standard definitions for
character names/spellings.

Those are the the Unicode standard's character names from the Greek & Coptic
block of the Basic Multilingual Plane:

Λ -- U+039B GREEK CAPITAL LETTER LAMDA
λ -- U+03BB GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA:lambda

But also, Unicode uses it in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block of the
Supplementary Multiligual Plane:
𝚲 -- U+1D6B2 MATHEMATICAL BOLD CAPITAL LAMDA
𝛌 -- U+1D6CC MATHEMATICAL BOLD SMALL LAMDA
𝛬 -- U+1D6EC MATHEMATICAL ITALIC CAPITAL LAMDA
𝜆 -- U+1D706 MATHEMATICAL ITALIC SMALL LAMDA
𝜦 -- U+1D726 MATHEMATICAL BOLD ITALIC CAPITAL LAMDA
𝝀 -- U+1D740 MATHEMATICAL BOLD ITALIC SMALL LAMDA
𝝠  -- U+1D760 MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD CAPITAL LAMDA
𝝺 -- U+1D77A MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD SMALL LAMDA
𝞚 -- U+1D79A MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD ITALIC CAPITAL LAMDA
𝞴 -- U+1D7B4 MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD ITALIC SMALL LAMDA

And there are other code points that use the same spelling:

ᴧ -- U+1D207 GREEK LETTER SMALL CAPITAL LAMDA (from Phonetic Extensions block)

 -- U+1038D UGARITIC LETTER LAMDA (from Ugaritic block)
