A simple question (I didn't find any thread on the subject) : why eastern province (india, muslims and zoroastrians lands) took the name of the dynasty and not the ''real'' name of the land ?
It was maybe the case that we called the big empire from the name of califs (abbasid, Umayyad), but for little or new possess, it seems to me non-sensical to call them by a dynasty name, or should that be a event related to the growth of the dynasty, prestige and lands owned.
And also this weird naming makes not possible to custom the name of your kingdom/empire like for the western one (or is there a way ? I mean other than mods).
 
Because in history those muslims, indians and zorostians realms were known mostly by their ruling familys name. Like Abbassid sultanate. They used their family name as the realms name and its historical. The reason why sometimes some use the real name of the title is because there is already one realm on the map that is ruled by the same dynasty member and it would be confusing if there would be two different abbassid sultanates on the map. Usually the higher title independent title will use the dynasty name and the others will use the base name.
