In the case of Hispanic systems, I always thought that the first guy who discovered a system would've started to call it after places in his own country, so for example, maybe the first guy who discovered Omicron Gamma may have actually been from the Hellenic Republic, the guy who discovered Omicron Alpha was from the Republic of Malta, the guy who discovered Omicron Eta was of Sicilian ancestry, and so on.
Sure there's also the issue that, if the people who discovered most Hispanic systems were Maltese, Sicilians, Greeks and so on...then where the hell were the Spanish?
