Yes, generally malware is named by the researchers who found it - often even if the creators obviously named it otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if "Regin" was a reference to how the researchers found big chunks of it tucked away in the registry, or something like that. For example, there's a reference to the name "Myrtus" in Stuxnet, which was (I think) probably the name its creators gave it (and may point to its Israeli origin)?
