    That’s the etymological fallacy. The name itself doesn’t determine the meaning. According to that logic, python isn’t a programming language either but a snake

      Fun fact python was named after Monty python, not the snake.

          “Monty” was selected (Eric Idle’s idea) as a gently mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, a British general of World War II; requiring a “slippery-sounding” surname, they settled on “Python”. Flying Circus stuck when the BBC explained it had printed that name in its schedules and was not prepared to amend it.

          It’s named after the python language, obviously. Nothing beats recursive referencing.
