My guess (and it's only a guess) is that it descends from British Empire usage.  The Lieutenant Governor is the Crown's representative in some British dependencies, such as the Channel Islands.



The Lieutenant Governor is also the Crown's representative in the Canadian Provinces and Australian states.

The Crown's representative at federal level in those countries is the Governor General.

Actually, in Australia they're simply called Governors.
