Reply to comment by andrewsinclair in How do you pronounce Linnaean Street? by too-cute-by-half

Ah, so it's von Linné St.

[fɔn lɪˈneː]

Linnaeus is the Latin form of his Swedish surname, used because he wrote his scientific work in Latin. He was born Carl Linné, and later ennobled to add the von.
