> Modern systems like git don't really work this way. I don't think trunk is properly descriptive anymore because it isn't necessarily the root of all branches. In a GitFlow branching model, commits can move back and forth on feature, bugfix and release branches without ever being merged to develop. On top of that you have branches like gh-pages which should have no shared history at all with other branches.

This criticism apply to every other branch naming, especially "master" (it's not a master copy of anything, then). Maybe "main" would be the best one since it highlights the most important branch of that git tree.
