As gundamofficial.com notes, the "hawk" is short for "tomahawk."

Yes, by definition that's what it is, a tomahawk. And yes, there are even weapons in Gundam that are specifically referred to as tomahawks like the Sazabi's beam tomahawk. When it comes to that particular weapon's official name though, it's the "heat hawk."

The Japanese clearly use "heat" and "hawk" as loan words.

If that's not enough...
