Not in this case. If the stream started at a spring, that is a place where water comes from the within the earth, that would be fine but the Colville begins at the place where two smaller streams come together to form a larger stream. Sometimes this new stream will take the name of one or another of the small streams from which it derives but often people chose to name the "new" stream differently and choose a new name, as they did here.
