There is an Irish language version of Street, i.e., Straoit. This is simply the English version spelt according to Irish orthography. I doubt that it has any historical validity.

Sorry! That last posting was wrong. I was confusing Street and Stritch (Straoits). These two names seem to be dominating this message board of late.
