Create column with the group for multiple values

Hello, I have a Table with a column called "Names" with a lot of versions of 2 products for example "barbie" and "cars". I need to create a new column "Groups" that show me only the major groups, but I have 1000+ items in my column to do one by one.. 

 

Does anyone have an ideia how I could do this? My result should be something like:

What if I have more than 1 option, I wanted to say if glow OR beach than write Barbie. How do I make this OR?

I am trying || : 

column = switch(true(),CONTAINSSTRING('Versões - SAP'[Versões],"CONCENTRADO" || "CONCENT")=TRUE(),"CONCENTRADO")
 
but it gives me the error Cannot convert value 'CONCENTRADO' of type Text to type True/False.
