Maybe some of the more illustrious woman Emperors' names had already been applied to some military vessel or other.
It's also plausible to say that the design itself originated on her home world; neither the origin of the design nor Marava is named in canon. However, I am pretty sure that Olav hault-Plankwell is more fondly remembered in the Spinward Marches than elsewhere, because he was from the Marches, and led a successful military campaign there. If Marava was the most notable person from a given world, she might be the namesake for a notable product designed there, even if she's hardly the most noteworthy emperor.
