Named .../ Named for...
Hi teachers,
Excerpts:
Named for the French munitions freighter that mysteriously exploded in Havana Harbor in 1960, La Coubre is a no-frills, open-air, concrete slab that serves Cubans.
1. When do we need "for" and when we don't?
2. Does the first half of the sentence describes La Coubre?
Thank you so much.

Hi
As a non-native speaker of English, I understand your sentence this way:
Name for: [phrasal verb] to give a place or an object the same name as a person or another thing.
By rephrasing the sentence we get:
La Coubre is a no-frills, open-air, concrete slab that serves Cubans. It (La Coubre) has been named for the French munitions freighter that e

Hi Dave Phillips, hi Mr. Tom,
Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Tinanam
Name is a verb. It means "to give a name to somebody/something". It does not need a preposition.
Have you named the baby?
We named our puppy Patch.
Name after is idiomatic; it has a different meaning. the give someone the same name as someone else.
She was named after her grandmother.
