It’s the Bristol Channel because it was the channel leading to the major port of Bristol.
Bristol was a major port, and from about 1300 it was the second largest in the UK after London. It still has a significant port at Avonmouth and Portbury.

Don’t invite or normalise an American technology company being the official source of truth for names of things.
That’s clearly the Gulf of Newport.
I have signed a piece of paper, and so it is now this.
Sailing the Severn sea!
Either that or Gulfy McGulf Face! Give the people what they want!!
So you’re endorsing Trump’s behaviour?
In Breton, the English Channel is called the Breton Channel.
