that's the point i keep making, all sorts of local place names have their regional language variants because of the way language works, not because they are getting "renamed". like for example russian -ov suffix universally corresponds to polish -w and ukrainian -iv. american ziggers know nothing about europe so they believe what they want to. bet these are the same people who ask shit like "wtf why does the bible have a bunch of guys named john or matthew, they didn't speak english there"
