Yes, it's like how pro wrestler Steve Borden owns the trademark on the name "Sting" for use in professional wrestling, while Gordon Sumner owns the name "Sting" for use in music.
Alternately, I've heard that the singer and wrestler are good sports about it, and the singer pays the wrestler $1 a year to use it.

Not sure which is true.
Sumner has been Sting since the 70s, so he certainly used it first.
