If I remember correctly, I think ArenaNet change the name of the main city because it had some real world meaning in another culture / language.
ArenaNet does like to base areas of their game on real world locations...
Ascalon - Caucasian (medieval)
Cantha - China
Nightfall - Factions
Eye of the North - Norse (norn) / Asura (Aztec)
Perhaps the sequel has some middle-east elements of the game.
