Elizabethan acting companies took the names of their patrons--by law, no acting company could exist unless it was sponsored by a noble or royal patron. This was automatic; neither Shakespeare nor anyone else could change the name of the company. The name of the company did not "honor" anyone, it showed who was giving the actors legal protection.
