Was the title of Our Lady of Bethlehem given to Mary to honor her at Christmas?

I wonder. . . Cheesy

I read the name Bethlehem is by interpretation meaning "The House of Bread"

The devotion of Our Lady of Bethlehem became popular in the 15th century in Portugal and Spain during   
the Age of Discovery because of the Portuguese Chapel to the Virgin of Restelo, in the Belem Tower   
close to Lisbon, the point of departure for ships seeking the route to India.
