The history of Anatolia, Mesopotamia and the Levant is very rich, with many flavours of people all with their own tales and history. Ignorance, does not mean it does not exist. I would not want us to be like homogenous Han Chinese.
In the spirit of this thread however - Kobani had an Ottoman name once, did you know that ? Before the borders were drawn up. It had different names before that too. The local kurds used Kobane (Company). The Ayn al-Arab name is a baathist designated name change and is the most recent one, proceeded by the arab belt campaign against minorities in the North. The arab name means "Source of the Arabs", inaccurate and rather cruel, motivated by the arabization campaign. There was a chechen in ISIS, "al-Shishani" who wanted to rename it to "Ayn al-Islam" and this would have happened if ISIS won the battle for it. Kurdish land claims can be irredentist, especially when talking about historical claims, changes in population of these areas in the last century alone have been large. Regarding what you said earlier - the UAE is an emirate smaller than the Kurdish emirates under the Ottoman empire. Furthermore, Have you seen what we print about Turkmeneli and Iran? haha. I don't pay attention to maps these days, just people.
I'm not arguing about land claims, but respecting history and why it's important to learn it - once upon a time it informed policy. If we are going to say the name is this by law for example, see what the laws say about this when it comes Rohingya or Uyghurs or even Turkmen villages the baathists renamed. Ignorance here is being part of the problem. Myanmar is currently erasing all Rohingya names. Uyghur names are already gone by law, replaced with 'real names'.
