In Austin, Texas there is a high school football stadium called House Park (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Park https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Park). For many years I assumed that house meant something like venue. (In theater, there is house lighting. And restaurants serve house wine.)
But it's actually named after Edward M. House, a political figure who donated the land.
There's also a Slaughter Lane. This being Texas, one might guess it is a road to a slaughterhouse, but it's named after the Slaughter family who were early settlers in the region.
