I'm not sure that Googling your preferred name and publishing the figures proves anything other than that there is not a commonly agreed term for these things yet.
Those figures do seem to indicate that there are a number of terms that are being widely used though and thus no need to borrow a word that the french haven't even fully adopted themselves.
