It's only Genovese because that's who was in charge when the feds first identified the five families. The name just stuck. Only one that didn't was Magliocco and that's because he died right around the time of the Valachi Hearings and Colombo took over. If Joe Profaci would have lasted another couple of years, they would have been the Profaci family.
