I think the moon was named for the Caliban of literature / mythology.

1. In Clash of the Titans, the bad guy was CaliBOS whom I think I recall reading was based on the Caliban character.

2. In Justice League of America - the old one - there was a villain named "CalaBAC" who was pretty gruesome-looking. He worked, along with De Sade, for his father. (I can't recall his father's name - apocalypse maybe - I remember thinking maybe the xmen's Apocalypse might be somehow related.)

It's odd how these things percolate through our culture. I wonder if it's related to the fact that people respond to what they know. One method of effective communication is to the sprinkle the message with things the receivers already know. Gives everyone a reference point.
