Thank goodness I'm only paid to understand flying machines, and not linguistics - I'd probably starve!

Presumably, following your logic, "Concordska", would probably imply (through the patronymic form) "Daughter of Concorde", which would certainly not be true, and very sadly isn't true of anything else either. Although, maybe that's what whatever Frenchman first coined the term meant?
