Might be an old name? Don't know if any of this will help, but here is what I found this morning.
There is an old botanical print found in a book from the mid-1800s - Edwards's Botanical Register.
Nelumbium caspicum is listed as the name.
I have not read the entire text but it says that the drawing shows..."true distinction between Caspian and Indian Nelumbia...".

This shows a drawing and describes the botanical register I just mentioned.

An older publication from 1831 - "...native at the mouth of the river Volga...":
