Why would anybody be named for the place of his death? Or rather: how _can_ anybody be named for the place of his _death_? I assume that even in the "Late Bronze Age" people were named at (or shortly after) birth and not only after dying? Second question: why "Late" Bronze Age? If the establishment of the Israelite Kingdom(s) coincide with the Iron Age (as almost all archaeologists would agree), should the patriarchs not rather be living in the early or middle Bronze Age? (Moses being in the Middle or Late Bronze Age).
