The name Spider-Gwen is only for her comic title not in story. In the story she is Spider-Woman and has to try to keep her secret from everybody. The team decided to title her comic "Spider-Gwen" based on the fandom nickname given to her in forums plus they didn't want another titled comic "Spider-Woman" (5 Spider-Woman thus far thus Spider-Gwen is one of a kind and just hers).
I wrote a small review for people who have a small interest in her comic below in this comments section.

I'm posting here a comment I wrote to a friend who asked me how was Spider-Gwen and if he should take a chance on her.
I love Spider-Gwen and it was this character and the comic Edge of Spider-Verse #2 that got me into comics.
If you are going to take a chance on her I recommend Edge of Spider-Verse #2 as that was her first appearance and breakout comic and feels like a true issue #1 for her and the world. Since they made that comic believing it was going to be a one shot tale that comic moves at a good pace and isn't slow. Since they earned an unplanned ongoing and had very little time in making it the team did a very good job art and story wise however it moves slower then other comics but for an understandable reason. Most comics takes place on worlds with established characters and events of that world such as 616. Earth-65 is brand new thus everything must be shown and established in time from the tone of the world itself, it's characters as everyone of them is new (in some form as being alternates means they can possibly be nothing like any other version thus each one is basically a new character for readers and has to be established), and brand new history being made. The writer must make something brand new and establish it for the readers. Some characters are very similar to their other counterparts (but we don't know that till we see them) while others are very little like any alternate that we have seen thus far. The cast and the interactions are being shown to us for the first time thus each needs proper care and time. We are being fed good pieces of information to us as it happens or interacts with Gwen (plus in those times we see more of who Gwen of Earth-65 is and her thoughts). Due to world building care it goes slower then other comics but each comic has been very enjoyable thus far. As we get to know the world and it's cast better I feel the writer will then pick up the speed after the necessary core cast, histories, and moments has been effectively shown. Discovering this world and it's cast has been a pleasure and seeing formerly establish from other worlds characters shown in a new light, age, morality, profession, or situation is a joy.
For the art I LOVE it. To me it's a visual treat but I understand that while some love it for others it's not their "cup of tea" as they say. Everybody has personal preferences thus I'm sure every comic artwork styles has it's fans and non-fans (most seem to like the art but some don't and that will be up to you personally).
I love Gwen. I love this version of Aunt May (a sage, warm-hearted, and she is no fool thus I can see why Gwen thinks of May and Ben as her "Aunt" May and "Uncle" Ben based on the love that flows out of them and feeling of family and kindness plus Gwen grew up with them as part of her life thus they are family to her and she is family to them), I like that Uncle Ben is alive in this Earth. Plus I like what they did with many of the other characters shown thus far: Matt Murdock, Frank Castle, Gwen's great loving and worried dad), look forward to what they will do with other characters ("Chat" has my attention), and wonder what they might do with the characters in Marvel's long history that has not yet been shown to us on that Earth (Black Cat is coming up soon and possibly will be in issue #5). The relationship between Gwen and her dad is wonderful. I wonder if we will see in details how he hunted and acted to "Spider-Woman" before he found out as well as other details and interactions of the past that can be evaluated and mixed with Gwen's and her cast present situations. The reader doesn't really start with her origin tales (that is shown with the only for the time needed details on only two pages in Edge of Spider-Verse #2) yet brought in still early enough in her superhero career to make rookie mistakes and losses.
Now before the comic came out some people thought that Spider-Gwen was going to be a lighthearted series. It isn't. Gwen is a dark heroine (possibly darker than the main Spider-man comic but that only from what others have said as I don't read the Spider-Man comic) and the Earth it's set on is a punk rock album tone and visual world. Gwen is suffering some rookie hero problem but also so spiritual and emotional problems. Gwen also seems to be getting battered in many of her battles and her life is tough. In issue #2 there is an indication that since a tragic event happened in her life she goes to bars and is a alcoholic (since issue #4 she has gotten some help emotionally by May the drinking problem might not stay). She suffering some self-worth issues and sees "Gwen Stacy" as a problem. It's rated T+ for a reason thus don't let some sexy or cute fanart of Gwen (that I love) cause a false illusion to her comic's fun but also serious nature.
Due to the first arc's good but slower then most comics story I defiantly recommend Edge of Spider-Verse Gwen Stacy to be the first read then followed with the Spider-Gwen series (either buying issues 1-5 or since a trade book most likely will be coming soon wait till that comes as having the full arc tale will feel like a full rich story without the slow feeling but wanting more pace and eventual tale and characterization payoff that waiting monthly had for the first arc of the series).
If I had to rank the issues also that came out thus far then Spider-Gwen issue #1 was very good but also the weakest issue for me however that isn't a bad thing as each issue for me has gotten stronger and better then the last. Thrilled for the upcoming Spider-Gwen #5 coming out soon.
