New

Birmingham's New Street is recorded at least as far back as the 13th Century. At some point presumably not very long before that it genuinely was a new street. In the 19th century expanding railway traffic caused the train companies to construct a major station next to it, at the time with a huge glass roof. Today "Birmingham New Street" station isn't even on New Street per se, the station and adjunct shopping centre having been rebuilt and sprawled over a larger area - but from pretty much anywhere in the UK if you say "New Street" you will be understood to mean that railway station as distinct from other streets that are new just as if you say "Waterloo" you will be understood to mean the railway station in London once named "Waterloo Bridge Station" and not the place in Belgium.

It would be better to have named it SO_TIMESTAMP_64, but ultimately symbols aren't themselves meanings, they're just symbols, and a few examples like this help to make that abundantly clear.

However, good news, if somebody gives something a name you don't like, you can just attach a different name (doing this to people is rude, but it will work). If yours is much more popular soon nobody will remember the "proper name" at all, and it will be regarded as a mistake if used. In principle as well as a bridge named after the battle of Waterloo, and one still named after the original city itself ("London Bridge") London also has one named for William Pitt (Pitt the Younger). But despite signs nobody called it "William Pitt Bridge", they called it "Blackfriars Bridge", soon the maps followed suit and today only historians or bridge nerds will have any idea where William Pitt Bridge even is.
