It is known by both names.

The Union name was Bull Run; the Confederate name was Manassas.

The Union named its battles after natural features(Bull Run was a stream) while Confederates named theirs after towns or place names.

Well, yes, I agree with you there, but the other side got the privilege of naming things.
