The naming is kinda misleading as Freeman Dyson envisioned the "Dyson sphere" as a swarm of objects. Although "sphere" is not technically correct, both swarm and sphere refer to the same thing here: a swarm of objects (e.g., O'Neill cylinders) orbiting a star.

Just for the record: the Dyson sphere is not an actual solid hollow sphere around a star. Rather it is a swarm of rotating objects orbiting the star.
