IDK. A lot of street in my area used to be named after confederate generals when it was a village and then became something else when they were annexed into the city. There is a particularly uninspired developer in our area that names his streets after relatives when he builds subdivision, but the problem is he only has so many relatives so you get neighborhoods that might have an Alice Street, Alice Lane, Alice Avenue, and Alice Way all in the same area. It gets confusing as hell in some of the neighborhoods he builds because he also seems to have an aversion to building any straight roads.
