The WiFi Alliance has a habit of always have a marketing name and a different name in the spec, you'll a lot more references to it in places like WPA supplicant if you search for Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN). Also here is the link to the spec https://www.wi-fi.org/system/files/Wi-Fi%20Aware%20Specifica...

What, the same people that named a consumer facing product 802.11g?
That would be the IEEE, and I don't think the marketing people in the Wi-Fi Alliance participate at that level.
They didn’t name it that, IEEE did.
