Yes, the server name is used as the prefix - for example I have these:

,----[ C-h v gnus-secondary-select-methods RET ]
|
| Value:
| ((nnml "" (gnus-search-engine gnus-search-notmuch))
|  (nntp "gm" (nntp-address "news.gmane.io"))
|  (nntp "fb" (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-tls-stream)
|        (nntp-port-number 563) (nntp-address "feedbase.org"))
|    ...
`----

which gives me names in the *Group* buffer like this:

  nnml:normal
  nntp+gm:gmane.emacs.gnus.general
  nntp+fb:feedbase.news.songkick.copenhagen

(The nntp-address defaults to the server name, so when shortening it I
had to explicitly set nntp-address.)

And this archive method:

,----[ C-h v gnus-message-archive-method RET ]

| (nnml "archive" (nnml-directory "~/Mail/archive")
|       (nnml-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
|       (nnml-get-new-mail nil) (gnus-search-engine gnus-search-notmuch)
|       (nnml-inhibit-expiry t))
|
`----

so I have archive groups like:

  nnml+archive:mail-2023
  nnml+archive:news-2023


  Best regards,

    Adam
