That suggests you may be copying directly from the calibre library author/book folder tree. That's not how calibre should be used.
If you use calibres Send to Device or Save to Disk features then a copy of the file(s) are Sent/Saved with the current metadata embedded. You control the folder and file names Sent/Saved via the
Preferences->Sending books to devices/Saving books to Disk->Save Templates value.
In a nutshell, use calibre's
export facilities.
If I used iTunes I would export via Save to Disk, and try importing into iTunes from there.
