The proper name for the treble clef in music is the G clef, because the clef is a kind of medieval way of writing the letter G. You can see the simililarities in the shape of the clef to the shape of the upper-case (G) and lower-case (g) letters. The curved shape of the clef wraps around the second line from the bottom of the stave as though it is saying something about this line. It is actually saying that any note on this line is a G. Similarly, the "bass" clef is more properly known as the F clef because it is, again, an old-fashioned way of writing the letter F. The two dots above and below the second line from the top of the stave is saying something about this line, namely, that a note written on this line is an F.
