Its a Sanskrit derived name: loka-nAtha
loka can mean world or people.
In Tamil script, whole ka-varga: (k,kh,g,gh) is represented by a single symbol. Therefore one often hears transpositions of k and g.
You can see similar transpositions in "akandabaratam" which is sanskrit derived too from "akhanda-bhAratam". Here "kh" and "bh" are transposed with "k" and "b".
