This happens all the time. A lot of cultures weren’t as into naming everything as Europeans. That’s how we wind up with stuff like Tucson’s Rillito River (rillito being Spanish for little river). I imagine it was some explorer asking a local “what do you call that?” “what the little river?” “ree-ee-to, thanks”.

Pardon the thread highjacking, but the most ludicrous historical "misunderstanding" in recent memory was the doofus leftists kneeling in the Capitol for George Floyd wearing Kente Cloths.

Kente Cloth Worn By Democrats Was ‘Historically Worn’ By African Empire Involved In Slave Trade...

There’s a good lesson here.

For example, I post with my real name. If someone calls me the wrong name, I could be late for dinner, or miss it entirely and have to eat Crats.

See.
