Sometimes I see stuff named "Esperanto" but have nothing to do with the language.
(Examples: One, Two, ... There was something like "Knights of Esperanto" but I cannot find it now)

Does "Esperanto" have meaning in other languages? I know "Espera" isn't unique, but I get frustrated when I find something when searching for Esperanto content, only to find something completely unrelated, so just wondering why people use the word.

No, people just use the word to give a sense of universality or internationality or whatever.

There are a bunch of random restaurants around the world called "Esperanto" where the owners don't speak it. There's one in Berlin that even shows the "jubilee" Esperanto symbol on its logo.

Back in the early 1990s some of the Euro-skeptics in Germany used to refer to the Euro as 'Esperanto-Geld' (Esperanto money).

In the "Grand Theft Auto" series of video games, it's car model. One of the most common cars in the games too.
