Go look up the history of the company. It started as a chat bot for kids back in like 2016 .. hence the name..and then pivoted..

Is kinda a creepy name for a chatbot for kids tho

Without context, I agree, but Hugging Face is the name of the emoji added to Unicode 8.0 and Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

But it's literally not the name of the emoji.

Edit: It was my understanding the official name was "Smiling Face with Open Hands Emoji".
