I wouldn’t consider it an example. Department of Redundancy Department is a text/dialogue trope about information being pointlessly repeated. Simba is merely an example of A Dog Named "Perro". A name doesn’t necessarily have to be informative—A Dog Named "Cat" is also a trope for a reason.

This thread
might be better for questions like this.
Anyway, that's definitely A Dog Named "Perro". It would be closer to Department of Redundancy Department if, for example, Simba had a title of "The lion king of the lions" (when just "the lion king" or "the king of the lions" would suffice).

"The main character in The Lion King (1994) is a lion named Simba. Simba is the Swahili word for lion - so he's a lion named Lion"
Is this redundancy?
