For example Pima County, Arizona has name=“Pima County” and alt_name=“Pima”. Same for Pinal County in Arizona and Riverside, Orange, Kern and Ventura counties in California. But this does not seem universal as the few counties I looked at in Washington state have only a name=* tag (e.g. name=“Columbia County”).<br></div><div><br></div><div>I don’t see a wiki page for the standard for this in the United States.
