This will take some research, but...
Many of these names will be translations or transliterations of one
particular name first attested in one particular language. So, 'Black
Sea' is likely to be a translation of some name in a different language
and which has subsequently been translated into multiple other
languages. Therefore, the name tag could contain the name in this
original language, provided it is clearly the name that has been widely
translated into other languages. (This is to avoid Ancient Greek and
Latin names that do not correspond to the modern name in most languages.)
