See "New map symbols" section in therion book. Symbol name is derived 
from its type and subtype.

This is not needed. You may do it via layout and thconfig files. Just 
define your symbol definitions for example in layout BCRA in BCRA.config 
file. Put this file into some of therion directories (listed in THERION 
env variable). Then in your particular thconfig you just write:

input BCRA.config
export map -layout BCRA
