It was named Camp Jaha when they thought Jaha was dead/dying alone on the Ark (in honor of him trading his life to allow everyone else to go to the ground). Then it turns out he isn't dead and he abandons his people to go search for the mystical City of Light.

Sometime in the 3 months between season 2 & 3, the name got changed. It's never explained within the series, but some fan theories include: Maybe they thought they weren't a "camp" anymore, but a real village/town/settlement/whatever. Maybe they had a vote on the name and Arkadia is what the people decided. Maybe they weren't happy with Jaha anymore and didn't want his name on their settlement.
