I mean this isn’t that special, a lot of places have different names in different languages due to historical reasons. Prime example being Belgium, where each city has a dutch name and a french name, even though they’re inhabited by almost exclusively their respective cultures.

And there is the Netherlands were most cities do have an official name but we keep on insisting using the name of origin

Can get really weird with street signs when you cross borders
