Like any other disaster, when you speak of the name attached to a place like that you mean the worst, most notable one. Like the Chicago Fire or San Francisco Earthquake there were lots of other fires and earthquakes there before and after but the name gets attached to the worst one.

This is no different, despite your attempts to put some sort of racial or religious bias motivation to that name where there isn’t one.
