I never thought about it before as it just sounds like a natural word. But now that I think about it, “gameboy” is kind of a strange name.

Fun fact: Gameboy, first released in 1989 is now technically a Gameman

It's apparently a pun on Sony's Walkman, which was super popular product back in the 80's. Project name was Dot Matrix Game.
