Heron names are loosely based on the Mayan calendar--days are described by a numbered cycle and a named cycle which are relatively prime (so you go through all combinations of name and number before a given combination repeats itself.) Heron names have one or two extra names in the middle, though.
GURPS says it refers to the date (maybe year, maybe year + day, I don't remember) of a given Heron's induction into the order, in the calendar of the old Bruig (before the A.E. dating system.)
