The name has nothing to do with Go the language; Just coincidence. It was taken from a play called Waiting for Godot.[0]

Internally, everything is C++ (and your code can also be written in it), but the bundled scripting language is called GDScript (it’s a bit of a mixture of Python, Lua, and others with some extra unique syntax sugar). However, it does support bindings to other languages. The most common being C# (using Mono), but people have gotten Rust to work (among others).

I didn't know that about the name. Should we pronounce it /ˈɡɒdoʊ/ like wikipedia says the play's name is pronounced?

I’ve used to pronounce it “go dot,” but then I heard a few YouTubers say it like that (/ˈɡɒdoʊ/), and I’ve been saying it like that since.
