What is the in-universe reason why it isn't named after the sound it makes?

Because we don't call Cats Meow or Dogs Woof or even Humans Shit.
Pokémons being named after their sounds was Ashnime bullshit until Gen VI.

Because "The legendary Pokemon MAHINA PEAAA" doesn't sound good.

Pokemon saying their names was an anime thing that they brought into the main with Pikachu only.

Plenty of Pokémon you interact with in-game have growls that aren't their name

“Mahina Pea” is Hawaiian for “moon bat,” so Lunala actually is saying what it is, just in another language.

Pokemon saying their names only was the stupidest thing that ever came out the anime and I will never not hate the anime for that. Even worse that they thought it was a good idea to include that shit in the games.
