«same form» in Greek would rather be «homomorphic». (Or in latin «eademforma», which could maybe be turned to «idoform» in english)

«Homoiconic» could also have been named «monomorphic» (single form), similar to to «polymorphic» (many forms).

«Homoiconic» in Greek means «same-likeness» or «self-similarity» in English.
