The name Ergo Proxy implies that the android is acting on behalf of someone else. Literally "Therefore acting on behalf of".
Does it mean that he is acting on behalf of himself? Or someone else entirely? The show suggests that he possesses free will, thus the first is more likely, yet it's not something natural to the word "proxy" to act on your own behalf...
The codename sounds like a part of an unfinished sentence.
