Celtic? The name "Gemini" is much, much, much better known from Greek myth, if it occurs in Celtic culture at all...

Here, I'll rephrase thenoblesunfish for clarity, because you seem to have misread

  > Is this why the Google product (now just called Gemini) was called [Bard]?
"That" == "Bard".

They weren't referring to Gemini, which is why there's that whole thing in parentheses stating it's *now* called Gemini

From Wiki

  | The technology was developed under the codename "Atlas", with the name "Bard" in reference to the Celtic term for a storyteller and chosen to "reflect the creative nature of the algorithm underneath".
Ah.
Gemini was originally called Bard. That's what thenoblesunfish was asking about: the original name, not the new one.
