It is probably a pretty big percentage of meteorites, given names from all
cultures, not just "American names" (whatever that is.) A big percentage of
place names, I would think are named after someone-- and lots of people's names
are then derived from place names. Somewhere in Australia, there might be some
poor kid named Millbillillie Mundrabilla.
