I think GQL from Neo4J has been around for quite a while before GraphQL.

Cypher has been, GQL has not.

GQL from Google has, but that's another problem with the (EDIT: naming of the) new GQL.

How would you think anyone should call a graph query language done by the SQL committee?

SGQL? SQL-GRAPH? G?

Or, heck, Cypher (with SQL itself, and most other languages, ISO didn't change the name even though the spec they adopted didn't necessarily exactly match what existed previously, they kept the name of the existing language they were standardizing.)
