Palpatine’s personal guard is the Praetorian Guard (they wear red uniforms). Stormtroopers (mostly white uniforms) are named after the german Sturmtruppen (literal translation), that’s WW1 stuff, not WW2 and has nothing to do with the SS.
George L. really doesn’t seem to give an F about changing the names, as The Praetorian Guard was the imperial guard of the Imperial Roman army that served various roles for the Roman emperor.
George RR M. At least made York into Stark and Lancaster into Lannister.
