If their first language doesn't use Latin roots they will also have to look up "name". While I don't want to endorse this specific tag, I don't think we should criticize it based on the tag name (which IMHO is quite precise and self-explanatory). Yes, if you completely miss any european cultural background, all tags are difficult (and this is not limited to the word "etymology").

Andy are you now saying that it is OK to have 1 wikidata tag on each street, so someone can create an external list of streets with Wikidata ids to represent some kind of collection (like "all streets named after Leuven") ? m.
