Obviously the naming is not consistent among the wikipedia articles in different languages:

Intelsat 33e war ein kommerzieller Kommunikationssatellit des International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (Intelsat) mit Sitz in Luxemburg.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelsat_33e

Its named after the * International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium*

I was talking about Intelsat 33e which is was a communication satellite, not for espionage, on a geostationary orbit. The russian espionage satellite Olymp-K mentioned in the other reply, however is on a geosynchronous orbit, as you suggested.
