Hi Bharadwaj. such name is assigned automatically to an actor when you do not provide a name explicitly.
For example when using ask pattern (?) a temporary actor is created which waits for a reply message. Such actor has this random temporary name. I see you also posted to kamon-user mailing list. Maybe kamon is using ask pattern or creating unnamed actors.
