No. Gentoo is an anagram for "net goo". Furthermore, "Gentoo Linux" is
an anagram for "Tux, go online". This why "Gentoo" was chosen.

Stupid me, I thought that is was because of this "They (Gentoo penguin) are
the fastest underwater swimming penguins, reaching speeds of 36 km/h. Gentoo
are adapted to very harsh cold climates."

I liked the word 'Gentoo', cool!

onomatopoeia

gentoo linux in named after gentoo penguins.

Those are small and fast.

They are named after the sound they make if you bring one to Tour d'Argent and put it into the duck press.
