While the Mac Plus was in development, each ROM version had a 2-word code
name. Since the 2 ROMs are marked high & low the names began with H & L.
The names were significant in that the 3 versions names Lonely <foo> all
used the exact same low ROM, with different high ROMs (I think). Other
than that the names had no relationship to various versions. I can't even
remember some of the other names, anymore.
When the Mac II started development, the tradition was started. In this
case, the ROMs were named A, B, C, and D, and one of the early ROM
versions was called Alabster Candelabra. The tradition died out, however
(perhaps because it was too difficult to come up with new names).
