This was the right way to find out the name of that key.
Find out the number of the key (also using xev), then use the
following command in your .xinitrc or .xsession or whatever file:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 42 = bla'
Choose the right number (instead of 42), and choose a keysym that
actually exists (look at <X11/keysymdef.h> for those).
