It's a word.

Like saying 'This song has soul'. 'I can feel the soul the artist put into his work.' 'The eyes are the windows to the soul.' They just used it because it sounded better in the world of Remnant than saying "A man with two personalities".

It really sounds like you are trying to make this into a big deal, when it's literally just a book Blake happened to be reading, and they chose it because it's an older book so they wouldn't get into trouble with copyrighting in our world, and it sounds like something Blake would read.

Even if RWBY, there's bound to be stories about fantastical things that they know aren't real. A man having two souls is impossible in the RWBY world, so it's fiction, and they don't even say what genre it is.

Hell, Harry Potter technically had two souls - he had that piece stuck in his forehead, and he had those moments in the fifth book where the link between him and Voldemort, caused by that second soul lodged in his scar, caused Voldemort to influence him, and even led to possession later on. I could argue that the story she is referencing is Harry Potter and the Order fo the Pheonix by the same logic and vague wording that you are using now.
