How the Super Bowl Got Its Name: The Surprising Story Behind the Iconic Title
The Super Bowl name, surprisingly, originated from a child's bouncy toy and a casual remark by Kansas City Chiefs' owner Lamar Hunt during a 1966 league meeting. Although initially called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, media enthusiasm made 'Super Bowl' popular. It became the official name by Super Bowl IV in 1970, honoring Hunt's contribution.
