Why is the King James Bible called the King James Bible?

Answer: When the modern corrupt versions started being made in the 1900s, then the Holy Bible (that the 54 translators worked on for 7 years) completed in 1611, was called the King James Bible/KJB to distinguish the KJB from the newly made, corrupt modern versions.

From 1611 until the 1900s, the KJB's name was the Holy Bible and was also called "the Authorized Version/AV" due to King James I's commission (in 1604) of the 54 translators in order for the KJB to be completed on and translated from the Hebrew Masoretic Text and the Greek Textus Receptus alongside using the previous English Bibles like Tyndale's Bible, Matthew Coverdale's Bible, and the Bishops Bible (which was made by Anglicans that were against Roman Catholicism). [Despite King James I's seperate comission of the KJB translation in 1604, we still have not found a decree or manuscript of King James I authorizing the KJB.] When the modern corrupt versions started being made in the 1900s, then the Holy Bible (that the 54 translators worked on for 7 years) completed in 1611, was called the King James Bible/KJB to distinguish the KJB from the newly made, corrupt modern versions.
