Not all eras are named according to the monarch at the time. The last was 'Edwardian' for the period 1902-1910. And that was for the 7th Edward. We've had 8 Henrys but only very rarely is the period of Henry VIII called 'Henrician'. Periods are sometimes called by the name of the Royal House - Plantagenet, Tudor, Jacobean etc. Later ages may call our era 'Windsorian' to cover the whole time from George V. But, of course, monarchs aren't really that important now so there is little point in naming an era after a King or Queen
