Dont think I have a clue about the meaning of the street, sorry. This is all I could find, but not necessarily the correct reason.

General Sir Banastre Tarleton, 1st Baronet, GCB (21 August 1754 – 15 January 1833) was a British soldier and politician.
He is today probably best remembered for his military service during the American Revolutionary War.
