Exonym and endonym
An exonym is a common, external name for a geographical place, group of people, individual person, or a language/dialect, that is used only outside that particular place, group, or linguistic community. Exonyms not only exist for historico-geographical reasons, but also in consideration of difficulties when pronouncing foreign word

metropolitan (n.)
mid-14c., “bishop having general superintendency over other bishops of his province,” from Late Latin metropolitanus, from Greek metropolis “mother city” (from which others have been colonized), parent state of a colony,” also “capital city,” and, in Ecclesiastical Greek, “see of a metropolitan bishop,” from meter “mother” (see mother (n.1)) + polis “city” (see polis).
In the early church, the bishop of a municipal capital of a province or eparchy, who had general superintendence over the bishops in his province. In modern Catholic use, an archbishop who has bishops under his authority; in the Greek church still the bishop of a municipal capital of a province, ranking above an archbishop.
metropolitan (adj.)
early 15c., “belonging to an (ecclesiastical) metropolis,” from Late Latin metropolitanus, from Greek metropolites “resident of a city,” from metropolis (see metropolitan (n.)). Meaning “residing in or connected with a chief or capital city” is from 1550s. In reference to underground city railways, it is attested from 1867.
cosmopolitan (adj.)
1815, “free from local, provincial, or national prejudices and attachments,” from cosmopolite “citizen of the world” (q.v.) on model of metropolitan. From 1833 as “belonging to all parts of the world, limited to no place or society.” Meaning “composed of people of all nations, multi-ethnic” is from 1840. The U.S. women’s magazine of the same name was first published in 1886.
As a noun, “one who is at home all over the world, a cosmopolite,” 1640s. As the name of a vodka-based cocktail popular in 1990s (due to “Sex and the City” TV program) from late 1980s (the drink itself seems to date to the 1970s).
Cosmopolitanism in reference to an ideology that considers all humans as a single community is recorded by 1828. It took on a negative tinge in mid-20c., suggesting an undermining of indigenous and national societies and often tied to the supposed influence of the Jews.
ยง 1-202. Notice; Knowledge.
(a) Subject to subsection (f), a person has “notice” of a fact if the person: (1) has actual knowledge of it; (2) has received a notice or notification of it; or (3) from all the facts and circumstances known to the person at the time in question, has reason to know that it exists.
(b) “Knowledge” means actual knowledge. “Knows” has a corresponding meaning.
(c) “Discover“, “learn“, or words of similar import refer to knowledge rather than to reason to know.
(d) A person “notifies” or “gives” a notice or notification to another person by taking such steps as may be reasonably required to inform the other person in ordinary course, whether or not the other person actually comes to know of it.
(e) Subject to subsection (f), a person “receives” a notice or notification when: (1) it comes to that person’s attention; or (2) it is duly delivered in a form reasonable under the circumstances at the place of business through which the contract was made or at another location held out by that person as the place for receipt of such communications.
(f) Notice, knowledge, or a notice or notification received by an organization is effective for a particular transaction from the time it is brought to the attention of the individual conducting that transaction and, in any event, from the time it would have been brought to the individual’s attention if the organization had exercised due diligence. An organization exercises due diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the person conducting the transaction and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Due diligence does not require an individual acting for the organization to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual’s regular duties or the individual has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information.
