What's the deal with sandwiches having names?

Seriously I don't understand. Are they namd after people? Is it to be pretentious? Why does it seem to be an exclusively American thing (from the few times I've seen it)?

Look up the word sandwich and read up on the history. Also you have to remember a lot of deli shops were created by jews from nyc .
