The point is that humans aren’t capable of making the sounds. And conveying the meaning of the name into another language is literally why she goes by Merlin because that’s what it is in a language humans can pronounce. She says herself she’s not fully human, but even if she was it’s been 3,000 years since her tribe even existed and humans have clearly evolved since then (given that they are much weaker) so it is possible that humans just can’t pronounce it anymore due to evolutionary changes in vocal cords or something similar.
