Yeah, I think so too. Why?

I think Wikipedia's information about the naming is likely only what could be sourced, and also the 1934 is about "formalization", and the 1930/1931 are more official messages that I guess there is still copies off, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume the word could been used in more informal contexts some year before that.

If we can't find instances from before 1930 then we can't expect an AI trained on information we can find to know about instances before 1930.

It'd be trivial to check, if the dataset is known just grep for "Depression" and "Great Depression" and see what comes up, still don't think it's impossible the names were in use before someone decided to wrote to Congress about it.
