So does every person get called a different name in every country they visit? What about your pet?
It is normal - in most European languages at least - for proper nouns to be treated differently. And usually the names we use for places ARE the same across languages or at least extremely similar. I think it makes sense for someone to be surprised and curious in cases where that isn’t true.
And I find the reasons in this and a bunch of similar cases to be really interesting, often weird, and sometimes pretty stupid to still be in use. Including the name China (and variations of it).

- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
A factor for me is that it doesn’t feel like a Java app carrying around 30 years of baggage with it.
But there’s other things too
