Celebrating history and heritage is fine. But I'd rather see common sense go into the naming of roads, regardless the language of origin. Save longer names for parks and neighbourhoods where they can still be meaningful and appreciative without causing dimwitted drivers to weave all over a road while trying to determine if the road name they've been given matches what they're seeing on a way too small street sign.
