Tautology is a better word. But I still think your use of it to describe God's revealing of His Holy Name is inapproriate.

What is inappropriate about it?

Tautology is usually used to denote something trivial. I don't find God revealing His Name, and His Nature trivial.

It's certainly not parallel to the original example given, which if interpreted in the Calvin way, is extremely trivial and trite.
