Think you will find it was a 901 to start with, but Peugeot weren't having it, hence it got changed to 911. Some of the older engine part number start 901.
That is as I understand it too, but I still think it was Porsche rather than Peugeot who first gave the car the 911 name, although I must confess it is a point of Porsche history I hadn't taken too much interest in up until now.
