Hamon is just poor translation. They say Hamon because that's how its pronounced in Japanese, much like how they call the series jojo no kimyou na bouken. I don't know why VIZ decided to use hamon, but it's possible it may have been to avoid copyright, you know, like how Iced is Vanilla Ice's name apparently. That's also why they kept all the Japanese dialogue, cause you can't get sued for pronouncing names in their Japanese spelling.
