So I just now built jack-1 and yes, pretty names are there in QJackCtl.

there are no default pretty names.
 

Tres cool !

Just to be clear, is it Jack which sets these default pretty strings?

no, they have to be set by something that knows about the hardware. e.g. a script that calls jack_property to set them.

PS: Have you done anything with metadata tempo maps, in say Ardour?

I see no connection between the two concepts.
