LOL, there have been name changes over the years.

Good question, when Peking became Beijing, why didn’t Peking duck become Beijing duck?

When did Bombay become Mumbai?

Some of these changes seem to have happened with no explanation.

Why they changed it I can’t say
People just liked it better that way
