The name was picked by French people who were not aware of the English word.

  Sure, and French don't have a word for "entrepreneur" neither

  They were certainly aware of the english word. But I think they are too proud of their mother language to care :)

    oh they care, that's why they went with the name IIRC. native english speakers being uncomfortable with the name was an advantage.
