I would put it in the description tag
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:description
eg
name = Henri Farmanstraat
description = Luchthavenpionier, 1874-1958

If existant, you could add an Wikipedia link
wikipedia =  en:Henri_Farman

Most people and locations have a page on a website (to be used with the url tag) or blog from a cultural or historic associaton :
eg
http://www.bloggen.be/huldenberg/archief.php?ID=74
could be added for De Tomme
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/83210315

Regards,
Gerard.

Er zijn enorm veel straten vernoemd naar burgemeesters. De meeste daarvan gaan geen Wikipediapagina hebben.

So many streets are named after mayors. Most of those won't have a dedicated Wikipedia page.

    Een wikipedia tag bestaat reeds.
    Alle info over de combinatie van wikipedia en openstreetmap vind
    je hier: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia

    Ik zou die specifieke informatie niet toevoegen, maar wel dan de
    link naar de wikipedia pagina voor die persoon.

    Groeten,
    Johan

    In Gent I find the following in the name tags:

    Henri Farmanstraat ((Luchthavenpionier, 1874-1958))
    Vincent Evrardlaan ((Oud burgemeester van Gentbrugge, 1896-1995))
    Guido Gezelle straat ((Dichter, 1830-1899))

    Interesting information, but technically not really part of the
    name of the street. (Nobody will add that as part of an addres).
    Still, I also already wanted to be able to add this information.
    Can this information be stored in a name:etymology-tag? And while
    we're at it, we may be able to add a link to Wikipedia as well?

    name:wikipedia=nl:Guido Gezelle

    What do you think?

    mvg,

    Jo
