All dragon names are supposed to be comprised of three Words of Power, as a dragon's name being shouted will summon it, and all shouts are three words long. It would be a name, it would of the dragon langauge, just not for a dragon. I imagine he may have been calling him Thuryol as a shortened version of his full name. Or maybe he just thought it sounded cooler. But since there is no source, it is a fan-created backstory. One I enjoyed reading, actually.
