Is it true that the name comes from the recursive, “Gnu’s Not Unix”?
Yes.
Yet people still refer to GNU/Linux as a unix system.
That's mostly because of certain standards followed by all the *nix systems, and it started with Unix..
Really it's a POSIX-compliant system.
Fun fact: RMS came up with the name POSIX.
