The name of St. Domingue was changed to Haiti by the leaders of the Haitian Revolution, primarily by Jean-Jacques Dessalines. After declaring independence from France on January 1, 1804, Dessalines sought to establish a new identity for the nation, reflecting its indigenous Taino heritage. The name "Haiti" is derived from the Taíno word "Ayiti," meaning "land of high mountains." This change symbolized the country's break from colonial rule and the establishment of its sovereignty.

St Petersburg was originally founded in the 18th Century by Tsar Peter the Great, who wanted to create a modern European-style capital for the Russian Empire.

In 1991, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a referendum vote led to the restoration of the name St Petersburg.
