I'm no photographer, but I was tought this was called bokeh not blur. Blur is more because of motion during open shutter.

"Bokeh" is specific to photo characteristics. "blur" is more general but still applies: "a thing that cannot be seen clearly".

I think it's more accurate to call bokeh a type of blur. But I still agree with you in that the name Google Lens Bokeh is more accurate, but it sounds worse so...

This is actually not bokeh at all, it is just simulating being out of focus.
