Poland has Warszawa which we call "Warsaw" instead of "Varshava" and Łódź which we pronounce "Lodge" (or something) instead of "Wooch".
Then there are country names which are close like "Spain" for "Espanya" and "Austria" for "Oesterreich".
We do it with historical figures too though I can't think of any at present.
