The names of the surahs are a matter of ictihad

And that's why it is very common to have multiple names for the surahs of the Qur'an.

If you look up any book of Classical Tafsir,

you look up a tabiri for example or even even Qathir.

Surah Al-Amran has so many names and he'll mention one name after another.

The fact that these surahs have so many names,

it indicates what did the Sahaba think about these surahs

and what did the early scholars understand from these surahs.
