The truth:
The first console Sega released in America was called The SEGA System, or by it's longer form "SEGA Video Game System". Master System was just a subcategory bundle name, nothing more.

"The console was originally marketed as the Sega Video Game System or just the Sega System at launch, with "Master System" being the name of the launch bundle available in North America, which was followed by the deluxe "SegaScope 3-D System" set and the budget-priced "Base System" set."

The name is officially Trademarked as The SEGA System. There is no disputing this.

Master System is also trademarked.

Only many, many years later once they released the Master System II, but by that time it was just a train wreck and no longer mattered.
