Server naming is a common tradition. It makes it more convenient to refer to a machine by name than by its [[IP address]].
The [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] named their servers after states.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itworld.com/offbeat/61750/would-server-any-other-name-be-functional|title=Would a server by any other name be as functional?|first=Josh|last=Fruhlinger|website=Itworld.com|accessdate=14 August 2018}}</ref>
Server names may be named by their role or follow a common theme such as colors, countries, cities, planets, chemical element, scientists, etc. If servers are in multiple different geographical locations they may be named by closest airport code.
