I did not mean to imply that the name was poor.  Any name more specific
would probably be too long, e.g., tramp-file-name-remove-non-connection.

I merely intended to ask that the documentation string mention the goal.
Perhaps:

(defun tramp-file-name-unify (vec)
  "Unify VEC by removing localname and hop from `tramp-file-name' structure.
Objects returned by this function compare `equal' if they refer to the
same connection.  Make a copy in order to avoid side effects."
