Renaming the Unhuman Wars

I had that weird thought yesterday: Why are the conflicts between elves 
and the various goblinoid races called the unHUMAN wars?

I think I remember reading somewhere an explanation along the lines 
of "humans did not side with the elves, so the elves called it the unhuman 
war in a cynical way" (or something like that...), but I could well have 
misremembered that.

I I didnt have misremembered, however, I propose we find other in-game 
names for the two wars. Because I find these names as illogical as calling 
for example the falkland war the "non-asian war" because no asian nations 
were involved. Why calling a thing after what it is NOT rather than what 
it is anyway?

An alternative would be that "unhuman wars" is how the humans of wildspace 
call them. It would at least explain the humano-centric feel (but would 
still be a bit  illogical, see the falkland-argument).

I think the elves might call it something along the lines of 'the great 
cleaning' or 'Corellon's battle' (referring to the mythic battle between 
Corellon and Gruumsh). 

I have no idea how the other side would call it; I guess the 'Great 
Cleaning' might be an orcish/scro-ish name for the conflict as well, only 
that they see the pointy-ears as the stain on the known spheres that has 
to be cleansed...
