I don't know but I swim and my coach is all ways telling us to get our butt up inbutterfly and in backstroke you lay on your back and in breastroke your chest comes out of the water and on freestyle it is legal to swim any stroke you want to.
I'm not sure if this is these are the reasons for the names but it sure is a coincidence.
