Sucker Punch probably did it as a parody of an Eygptian Pharaoh.

Slytunkhamen was also the first Cooper, originally. Sanzaru, or whoever makes the fifth game, could indeed make Slytunkhamen just Sly.

But, you also gotta remember, there are multiple Slytunkhamens (at least three) as well as Slaigh/Släi MacCooper, then there is Salim and Sally (not really "Sly," but close). So unless you wanna say that all of these people are Sly as well, your theory isn't without its holes. And if Sly were all four of them, that would come with its own holes.
