Apple makes them up.
(Ah, the days of BHA...)
Then Apple doesn't provide meaningful names in the real world--how many PowerMacintosh G4 models are there?--plus places like this are filled with people who like to think they're "cool" by using "super secret Apple inside code names," so the code names become used as identifiers.
The code names are meaningless--but if you want to know which of the many, many PowerMacintosh G4 computers someone has, it may be the only way to have a meaningful discussion.
