I think I remember part of the nickname is due to all the shipwrecks along the coast due to extreme fog. I only know about this area as I have it on my bucket list to visit to see try to see Lion prides that have adapted to coastal life. Namibia geography is pretty harsh so they’ve adapted to live on the coast, I think the only place in the world you find this.
