it was released after, but in the ingame story timeline, Prime weapons/warframes were invented much earlier than their non-prime-counterparts. so it makes sense there to call the weapon after its Prime version's looks.

and yes, DE knew how Spira Prime would look before they made the regular Spira because the Spira Prime's model was originally used on a weapon exclusive to the Chinese warframe version and released in China before we got the regular Spira (iirc).
