My memory on these things is a bit fuzzy, but I believe it actually had some 
meaning relating to bank charter numbers.  Banks like to keep low charter 
numbers, as it indicates they've been around and stable for a long time.  So, 
if you had charter #100 as the Third Bank, and had to reorganize for some 
reason, you could only keep charter #100 if you could prove a lineage - so you 
became "Second Third Bank" and your charter could stay at #100 rather than the 
next available charter that would be something like #5274.  Carry this through 
successive bank failures and reorganizations and you could easily wind up with 
"Fifth Third Bank."

My parents bank at (I kid you not!) The Fifth Third Bank.

I don't know if the name was whimsical, or if it has some meaning. I just shake 
my head...
