Say you live in a small town with maybe 200 streets. You want to meet your freind, so you say lets meet at Toms house. This is great you both know where Toms house is, so you meet up.
Next week your friend from out of town is coming to visit, you say to them meet me at Toms house. They'll ask "where is that?"
Now if Tom lives on West Street, you can say "West street". If there are no road names, and you have to go down say 10 different streets to get there, then it becomes difficult to explain how to get to Toms House.
Now lets say your freind from out of town is just sending a letter to Toms house. The town will have a name, but you can't address a letter to:
Toms House
My Town
If the post man does not know who Tom is then the mail will never get there.
Finding directions in a map are easier if you are trying to find West street, rather than a random guess at any one of the 200 streets in your town.
For these reasons Streets got named. Exactly why the name was chosen for a street is a different story.

How do street names get their names?
Streets get their names from many different sources. One example is the method of naming streets after numbers (1st avenue, 2nd avenue.) In this example, streets are named based upon the order they were constructed in. Other street name examples include naming streets after other cities or towns, naming streets after famous people, and naming streets after foliage in the area.
