The coins look like minishields. You could say they are shields if you didn't know they were tiny. So the people who produced the coins are either the same or very closely related to the ones who made the shields.
As for the name, the Albanian word for lake seems a very straightforward explanation and I have noticed this before. Honestly I did not know that there were other theories. In any case, the name is not necessarily related to the people as it could be an exonym.
