Hoi, The name was Batavia at that time in any language.
The issue is that when you fudge information in this way, you can not have proper queries. This is why Daniel is wrong and the notion that labels are simple needs to be revisited. It is not rare at all and it exists in many domains. This is why it is wrong, wrong, wrong. Thanks, GerardM

Use 'Birth name (P513)' (string datatype) for Cassius Clay or 'Official name' (Proposed property with monolingual text datatype) for Batavia - with date qualifiers.

Hoi, So how do I indicate that up to a particular date Jakarta was called Batavia ? Muhammed Ali was called Cassius Clay ? There is no discussion about it. All there is an (potentially perceived) inability to use appropriate labels at will.
Labels are not simple. Thanks, Gerard

If the name is something that is changed, debated, or otherwise a subject of discussion, create a statement using an appropriate property. The point of having labels is precisely that they are simple.
