Also, there are lots of references to various hangars that incorporate the word "medevac". Can anyone enlighten me as to its meaning?

If you are asking the meaning of the term "medevac" have you not tried searching Google or the equivalent of, it takes seconds honestly 🤔
The term Medevac involves an emergency situation, a troop flight from a combat zone or a medical emergency flight for example. Luton does or ar least used to handle these in the past. A very quick search online will explain the term in more detail.
Or are you asking why various hangars incorporate the the term "medivac"?
The answer to the above is probably down to the fact that many of the hangars were also used, including those medical evacuation emergency flights, etc, which would have also included helicopters along with fixed winged aircraft.
For example hospital helipads also use the term "medevac".
