Why not include a weblink to the "reason for the name"?<br>
That could be a wikipedia-link to the page of the person the name
comes from - or something else.<br>

<div>You have to keep in mind, though, that this information

I would even say that it has nothing to do with a geographic

I think the intention was to record the specific words on the
street-sign rather than general encyclopaedic information about
the person who gave his name to the street. That could be
legitimate for OSM, do you agree?<br>
