Answer 4

Virginia was named after the virgin queen, Queen Elizabeth I in the 1600s, Maryland, Queen Mary, and speaking of Virginia, there's actually a county named Prince William (probably after King William III or IV) and in Alaska there's a body of sea named Prince William sound, lol.

And I know a town in Virginia that used to be called Royal Oak (if that counts) now it's named after Francis Marion from the Civil War.
