Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (汉, Hàn) and one or more export names abroad. Renames happen to avoid trademark conflicts, to fit a global naming system, or because the domestic name does not translate well.
Named after the Han dynasty; badge kept abroad.

Frequently asked questions
What is the BYD Han called outside China?

What does 汉 mean?

Why do Chinese cars have different names abroad?
Brands rename models for export when the domestic name is hard to pronounce, conflicts with a trademark, or fits a different global naming system (for example BYD's Atto/Seal/Dolphin ocean series or Geely's Atlas/Monjaro/Starray line).
