Hi @OleksandrMalinin, thanks for reporting this issue! I will transfer it to the map-collection repository, since this does not relate to Highcharts code, but to map itself.

This is something that could be changed via series data like in this demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/jq2edmw5/

Relevant code parts:

• data with extra info for the names

  const data = [
      ['ua-my', 110, 'Odesa'], ['ua-ks', 11], ['ua-kc', 112, 'Kyiv City'], ['ua-zt', 13],
      ['ua-sm', 14], ['ua-dt', 15], ['ua-dp', 16], ['ua-kk', 17],
      ['ua-lh', 18], ['ua-pl', 19], ['ua-zp', 20], ['ua-sc', 21],
      ['ua-kr', 22], ['ua-ch', 23], ['ua-rv', 24], ['ua-cv', 25],
      ['ua-if', 26], ['ua-km', 27], ['ua-lv', 28], ['ua-tp', 29],
      ['ua-zk', 30], ['ua-vo', 31], ['ua-ck', 32], ['ua-kh', 33],
      ['ua-kv', 134, 'Kyiv'], ['ua-mk', 35], ['ua-vi', 36]
  ];

• data labels format with conditional templating:

          dataLabels: {
              enabled: true,
              format: '{#if point.custom.name}{point.custom.name}{else}{point.name}{/if}'
          }

As far as I can check those are alternative spellings. If you have an official source that could be linked claiming that the used names are wrong and should be changed please share and I could reopen the issue.

Closing as resolved.
