There aren't many such cases, are there?
People often use the same name for different things. Cancer in Latin could be a crab, a tumor, or a Zodiac constellation. The 28 Mansions (Lunar constellations) of the Chinese include 亢 kàng = "neck", 心 xīn = "heart", 胃 wèi = "stomach", and more...
The repeated labels could also be
- generic words like "tube", "reservoir", "dim", "bone", ...
- qualifiers like "big" and "little", "left" and "right", "upper" and "lower", ...
- misspellings of similar names, like "Hydrus"/"Hydra", "adductor"/"abductor"
- ordinal numbers, like "二" for 河鼓二 = "constellation River Drum star 2" = Altair
