Well, yes, that it does - that's kind of the problem. In a world that wants to seem real, things generally shouldn't fit together too perfectly like that.
It is probably Valyrian, given that many of the Free Cities' names end in "os" as well, like Bravos, Pentos, Norvos, Tyrosh etc.
To me it fits together perfectly.

I think the name is very fitting, and hints at an ancient "First Language" that named all continents
