Yes, I mean the names of villages, for example 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4778218126/history
it also has its own entry on Wiki 
https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%E1%BA%A1nh_Y%C3%AAn

didn't the names remain at least as local names? how do people now commonly say that I want to go to this village?
