More likely, some packager decided to "fancy it up" a bit and "pcb
designer" was the description, then someone else thought that was the
name, etc.

BTW there is a commercial layout program called "Allegro PCB Designer" -
by Cadence.  And "Orcad PCB Designer" by Orcad.  And many other "Foo PCB
Designer" packages.

But gEDA PCB is just "gEDA PCB".
