You mean a real life location is referred by another name?

May be related to Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

... None of those are quite what I was thinking of. The specific example I was thinking of (but using those always seems to confuse people) was of a place that is very clearly intended to be our Earth (or an extremely similar parallel world), but is referred to exclusively as Terra — "Earth" isn't even mentioned in passing as an old name or something to confirm its identity to the audience.

^^Calling Earth by the name Terra is covered by the Planet Terra trope
