I think there is an argument to be made for names being specific to products made in a certain place. The most prominent example I can think of is champagne being specific to the region in France. Lots of other alcohols, particularly spirits, such as Scotch and Irish whisky do this as well. I'm sure that most people don't actually care but for specialist products selling to people who do care I think it makes sense to reserve the label and just call the local imitation something else.
