Hi Tony

Let me start by explaining the names for Danish flagged Maersk vessels.
The very first was "Svendborg" in 1904 named after the city
where the company was founded.
With few exceptions they were hereafter named after family members (given name) followed by MAERSK spelled in Danish (only 5 letters as AE is one letter in Danish).
This system is still followed (except off-shore vessels and drilling rigs), however, today it also includes geographic locations to which the family or company have connections:
Danish cities: Svendborg Maersk, Skagen Maersk, Soro Maersk, Dragor Maersk etc.
Danish Islands: Romo Maersk, Taasinge Maersk, Thuro Maersk.
Few other exceptions are:
A.P. Moller named after the founder.
Regina Maersk named by the old Queen (Regina = Queen)
Sovereign Maersk named by our present Queen.
Off-shore vessels and rigs all have prefix Maersk, however, again spelled in Danish.
I may have forgotten something for which I apologise.
Regards
Per
