If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [and because there they buried the people who had desired, he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah]

וַיִּקְרָ֛א
and=he/it_called
See how you translated the similar form in 11:3. Here, the pronoun he could refer: (1) generically to anyone who used this name. Alternate translation: [and people called] (2) to Moses. Alternate translation: [and Moses called]

Qiⱱrōt- -hattaʼₐvāh
This name Kibroth Hattaavah sounds like the Hebrew words for “graves of desire.” This place got this name because the Israelites buried there the people who had strongly desired meat. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain this in the text of your translation or in a footnote.
OET-LV And_he/it_called DOM the_name_of the_place (the)_that Qiⱱrōt Hattaʼₐvāh if/because there they_buried DOM the_people who_craved.
OET (OET-RV) So that place was named Kivrot-Hata’avah (which means ‘Graves of the cravers’), because that was where they buried the people who had craved meat.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
