Namaste Z,
Interesting view...
How I undersand it:
Bhagavad Gita - the root verb is bhaj - to to love or revere + ga is to sing; gita to from gayati , he sings.
Yet lets look at it this way too: bhag - is that of good fortune, wealth, splendor. As we call Krsna Bhagavan or good fortune + van or possessor, Master.
This Bhagvan possesses 6 divine qualities:
Knowledge - jnana ( full, unbounded, pure knowledge)
Strength - bala ( infinite, without bounds)
Lordship - aisvarya ( as He is the essence of every-thing)
Potency or Energy - sakti
Virility to make this whole universe manifest - virya
spendor or brilliance - tejas
From this we can see how Bhagavad Gita is this glorious song from one that is of good fortune.
Note this root of bhag and bhaj can be found in words like bhakta, bhajana, bhagavata, bhadra, etc.
pranams,
यतस्त्वं शिवसमोऽसि
yatastvaṁ śivasamo'si
because you are identical with śiva
