I’ve never understood why the English call Praha by the name Prague(-:
New York is written Nueva York in Spanish and even Nova Iorque in Portuguese.
The reason for changing names is very probably pronunciation and writting, the English do not have sound for beggining of Austria in German, do not have many letters from European alphabets, but still want for some reason to refer to such cities or countries.
And Estados Unidos are shortened as EE.UU.,because it is a plural, unlike Union Europea -> U.E.
The European Union itself is another interesting example: it has over 20 original names.
