The least acceptable alternative to the underlined portion in the sentence would be "named;". The use of a semicolon here would create a grammatical error because it incorrectly separates two independent clauses that are not closely related in this context. The other options ("named because," "named, as," and "named, while") are all more acceptable in connecting the clauses appropriately.
