You local council intends to name a street after a famous historic figure that lived in an english-speaking country .

I would call the street in honor of the famous scientist Tesla. This scientist made a lot of scientific developments. He researched electrical energy. People have received this kind of energy, which today is cheap relative to other types of energy such as gas and gasoline. People invented electric vehicles, which makes them very economical with respect to conventional cars. Tesla invented many devices that help mankind live with electricity. A lot of films was made about Tesla. I really like this scientist.
