And you are talking about the named variants. Mutations do not always affect the DNA in any meaningful way. They name the variants if the DNA has changed in a way it is of concern.

They name the strains when they are the ones that are most common. That makes them "of concern".
Actual strain names have a bunch of letters and numbers. Like, the B.1.1.7 strain(alpha strain, the original new more deadly variant). Delta variant is B.1.617.2 See all those numbers missing between it? That's how often these things mutate. And that's just the ones they know about.
