Simple.

"Ghoul" is just a word.

A word that was the closest fit for the species witnessed in the series, hence, the word latched on as a way for the humans to even comprehend what was hunting them.

It could have been anything, really...but "ghoul" was the first one that was deemed fitting.

The actual species got no real name..."ghoul" is just a nametag strapped on them for convenience sake.
