'Primus' means 'first' in Latin. **Just as you cannot copyright the word 'first', you cannot copyright 'primus'**. Same goes for 'prime'. Or any other common word. If in some fantasy universe, the entity that creates whatevers is called 'The King', I can still have kings and queens in my literature, and Jordan can continue having a very real king sitting on the throne. There are multiple fictional entities named 'Primus', as well as a band, a journal, a TV series, and several companies. It's also a church title. [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primus).
