It's named after being inspired by William Peter Blatty's novel The Exorcist which was inspired by the actual 1949 exorcism of a young boy from Cottage City, Maryland, and the 1634 Loudun exorcisms, so no, it wasn't misnamed.

while your facts are undeniable i just cant get past that Blatty's novel was also wrongly named.

Reddit is wild. It seems like you got downvotes because the premise on which your joke rests is at odds with the majority opinion that emerged about the title.
