Seems simple enough, right? But as we know RTD likes

That kind of name-based wordplay is more Moffat's

RTD's already done that with Sutekh!

 After the Time War, the Ninth Doctor is convinced that he is
the only surviving Time Lord... so when you translate that to
Yaddish... The Time Lord survivor!
