Are there any geometric terms that start with the letter G?
There are a few geometric terms that start with the letter G including great circle, glide, and golden ratio. Another example is golden mean.
Is the Pythagoras theorem the same thing as the golden ratio?
No, they are not the same, but relate to each other. The medial right triangle of this "golden" pyramid, demonstrated the Pythagorean theorem through the relationship of the two. Ancient Greek mathematicians first studied the golden ratio because of its frequent appearance in geometry. The division of a line into "extreme and mean ratio" (the golden section) is important in the geometry of regular pentagrams and pentagons. The Greeks usually attributed discovery of this concept to Pythagoras.

Who created Phi?
Phi is, above all things, the 21st letter in the Greek alphabet, so it's hard to say who created it. However, the number commonly attached to it, the golden ratio, has a long history, starting with the mathematicians of Ancient Greece, and has been studied, used, and approximated ever since. Just a few of the mathematicians who studied Phi are Euclid, who gave the earliest known definition of the golden ratio; Kepler, who described it as one of the two greatest feats of mathematics (along with the Pythagorean Theorem); Michael Maestin, who was among the first to give a rough approximation of the golden ratio's value; and Mark Barr, who first used the letter Phi to describe the ratio. So, I guess in the end the creation of Phi was sort of a group effort.
