It's objectively true that all NFL/AFL championships were retconned as superbowls.
So KC objectively won a superbowl, but TECHNICALLY didn't because it wasn't really called the SB at the time of the game. In the annals of NFL history, Kc won a superbowl. Regardless of his technicalities.
Anyway, It took Lamar Hunt, founder of the chiefs, some time to come up with the name.  |
Wiki disagrees.

It was used in the media as early as mid 60s and officially adopted for Superbowl III.
