We white men have done many terrible things, but I must point out that native speakers of Spanish very often have trouble spelling words with B/V and so forth, so it could just as easily have been named by a native. Bosque is a common word, so it's unlikely to be misspelled as vosque, but vedado is not very common, so it is a good candidate for misspelling.
The B/V, G/J and the H are problems in Spanish, and they stay there simply for tradition and etymological reasons. A simplification of the alphabet in Spanish would eliminate most of the silly spelling mistakes, but try to convince anyone...
In any case, maybe it is not a common word, but there is also "veto", "vetar", all written with v.

BTW, "must of been a "white" man" is incorrect English, and should be "must have been a "white" man."
Well it figures must of been a "white" man who named it..

Yes it is...and I am going to check your picture now.
It is definitely not me. It was taken in 1928.
