A proposal to add a name to an airport is underway. This has led to discussion about the airport's existing three-letter code. The code, BNA, honors a Tennessean, but not through the airport's official name.

Col. Harry S. Berry is the person behind the "B" in the code. He was a graduate of West Point and had a military career. Further details about his life and accomplishments are available.

Travelers were asked about the meaning of the code, with one person jokingly suggesting it stood for "Beautiful Nashville Airport". The actual meaning is rooted in Col. Berry's legacy.
