There are a few possibilities:

1) Rorik is lying about the town being named after him. Maybe he even changed his name to "Rorik" to do this.

2) Rorik just happens to have a name similar to the town, and says the town's named after him to boast.

3) The town of Rorik's Steading was destroyed or abandoned sometime between the 1st Era and the 4th, was rebuilt, Rorik named it after himself, and the fact the two names are similar is a huge coincidence.
