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).
