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

Good idea, but not with "etymology" as the name.

You have to keep in mind, though, that this information is not
strictly part of the geographical characteristics of the way/place,
I would even say that it has nothing to do with a geographic
database. OSM is NOT an encyclopedia. OSM is not a substitute of
Wikipedia.
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?
