Many of the street names originate from the rulers of the ancient Kingdom of Strathclyde in the 6th century, e.g. Rederech Crescent (King Rederech), Langoreth Avenue (Queen Langoreth) and Royellen Avenue (Princess Royellen). It is said that the family's summer hunting lodge was in the Earnock area. Some of the streets are also named after famous geographical features of Scotland: Lomond View (Ben Lomond), Fruin Rise (Glen Fruin) and Iona Ridge (the island of Iona).
