Why did they name it Greater Bay Area when we already have a place called the Bay Area?

Because it is an even greater bay area, greater than the original one, and that's the point. Subtlety is not a thing here.
It’s either a coincidence then or a really petty/inferiority complex based name.
Lots of places have bays.
Does this one?
What an american-centric view of the world.
I’m not American?
I'd guess it was intentional.
