So as everyone has they own names, Firebird has it too. And it also has

maps these names to ICU names (a actual 1-1 as currently the same names
are used).
ICU uses widely known stanrard names from IANA.
Not all of them are standard:
For Jaybird I had to map Canada/East-Saskatchewan (id 65149) to
America/Regina, Factory (id 65034) to GMT, ROC (64941) to Asia/Taipei.
And it contains ambiguous time zone abbreviation codes, which can only
be mapped if you know which one ICU means.
Nor is that a guarantee they are available on all platforms or
programming languages.
