One advantage that "git blame" has over possible alternatives such as "git credit", "git author", or "git praise", is that it's one character shorter and maybe faster to type.
For the same number of characters, I have heard of "git glory" as a possible alternative.
Based on the above statement, I find it extremely weird to see such git command named "blame", then I realized I'm not the only one:
What does 'git blame' do? [1].
Blame someone else for your bad code [2].
Git blame should be called git credit [3].
Does Git Blame sound too negative? [4].
