Why does the media keep calling this ship the “Ever GIVEN” when it says “EverGREEN” on its side?

[Two Kids' Dad]

One is the name of the ship and the other is the name of the shipping company.

I was confused too but the shipping company is Evergreen, the name of the vessel is apparently Ever Given. I should have known. Having the company name on the side is very common.

On the bow, in smaller letters, it says "Evergiven".

Maybe Evergreen in another language?

The ship is owned by the Evergreen Marine Corp, a Taiwanese container transportation and shipping company that owns 39 shipping vessels. Of its large fleet of ships, 20 are named in the format of “Ever” + [a word that begins with a G]. Other ships owned by Evergreen Marine include the “Ever Goods,” “Ever Gaining,” and the “Ever Giant.”

Hope this clears things up.
