<p>I have no idea how they came up with "Princeton"." I guess it comes from Princeton, NJ but... maybe that was changed after Princeton changed its name?!</p>

<p>Princeton did not change its name to "Princeton" until almost 1900. Princeton NJ existed way back.</p>

<p>Princeton changed its name from The College of New Jersey to honor the town of its location, basically naming it after the town of Princeton</p>
