Every town has street-naming themes that give a place a sense of identity and community.
Its often a simple homogeneity, such as bird or animal species, but in some cases the naming can be quite esoteric.
If you live in Cape St Francis in the Eastern Cape, you have to know local maritime history to draw connection between roads with the names Akbar, Arago, Bender, Haarlem, Jonge Thomas, LAigle, Lyngenfjord, Meermin, Panaghia, President Reitz, Stavenisse and Suffolk.
