The battle is known as the First Battle of Bull Run as there were two battles in the same area. In the CSA it was known as the Battle of Manassas or First Battle of Manassas.

The battles have different names because generally speaking the South named battles based on a physical location, Manassas, while the North used bodies of water, the Bull Run stream as example.
