If they ever had him throwing the definite article in there, it'd make more sense. "I am Human Steve" when in person and they can see you might be a bit of redundancy, no?
In retrospect, I think someone (Geoff Johns or Mark Waid, I can't recall who had control of the title at the time, I think Waid) noticed this in Flash - anytime the scene shifted to Gorilla City, or the humans were conversing with citizens of there, they just referred to him as "Grodd". Makes much more sense than a bunch of members of a species all prefacing their names with the bleedin' obvious. "Hi, I'm Human Steve." "Nice to meet you Human Steve, I'm Human Jason." "No kidding? On what side?"
