Lead singer is named Barry Gibb. So I assume it’s just using his initials.

1958, the Gibb family, including infant brother Andy, emigrated to Redcliffe in Queensland, Australia. The still very young brothers began performing where they could to raise pocket money. First called the Rattlesnakes, later Wee Johnny Hayes & the Bluecats, they were introduced to radio DJ Bill Gates by racetrack promoter Bill Goode (who saw them perform at Brisbane’s Speedway Circuit). Gates renamed them the “Bee Gees” after his and Goode’s initials – thus the name was not specifically a reference to “Brothers Gibb”, despite popular belief.[6]
