Those are the two hostnames that are defined both in the pi hole /etc/hosts and also on the router. They are also the set hostnames of the devices themselves.
Incidentally, as of this morning both the pi hole, and another pi (with a reserved dhcp address at 10.0.38.2) are able to resolve those two addresses. However they remain unable to resolve any of the other addresses not defined in /etc/hosts
meanwhile, the windows clients on the network remain unable to resolve even those two hosts.
