The altnames table was created by the Department of City Planning to facilitate geocoding for users of the LION file. The LION file has been maintained as a major component of the Department of City Planning's Geosupport System
Alternate Names Table: Some streets may have multiple street names, valid for the full length or a portion of the street. The LION file accounts for most of these cases through the use of Street Codes and Local Group Codes (LGCs) which establish the valid names for each particular segment. The Alternate Names Table (altnames) is built using all the street names that correspond to the street code and lgc values.

Some streets may have multiple street names, some of which are valid for the full length of the street (for example, "6 Avenue" and "Avenue of the Americas" in Manhattan) while others apply to only a portion of the full street. For instance, a portion of "West 110 Street" in Manhattan has the alternative valid street name "Central Park North"; a different portion of "West 110 Street" has the alternative street name "Cathedral Parkway". The addresses "155 Cathedral Parkway" and "460 Central Park North" are not valid addresses, since those street names are not valid for the portions of "West 110 Street" where those respective address numbers are located. Additionally, there may be multiple valid spellings for a particular street name. For example, it is acceptable to refer to Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard in Manhattan as Powell Boulevard, Adam Powell Boulevard or A C Powell Boulevard. The altnames table also allows for some common misspellings.
Street names are associated with the LION file. The LION file is spacially aligned with NYCMap aerial photography.
