Hello poker family!
It turned out that the name of the street was chosen quite simply. The fourth card on the board can turn the deal in either direction. Someone can collect the desired combination, and someone can get an unwanted card. Therefore, the name comes from the verb - "to turn"

A more interesting name was chosen for the last street. [River]

I made a typo in the title of the topic "fourth street", so do not judge strictly)

Its called the "turn" because it can "turn the tide" of the hand.
