We’ve seen in the past that Helicarriers tend to be named out of mythology and literature–the Helicarrier Iliad is the main one at the moment, and we’ve seen the Odyssey as well.

Especially when you consider that SHIELD is an international organization, so it’s not going to likely name it’s craft after the military heroes or history of any one particular nation.
