Funny thing, "macOS" (actually "мак ос" / "мак ось") was a slang name for OS X in Russian and Ukrainian languages all this time.

Weren't all pre OS-X versions also called Mac OS?

Between versions 7 and 10 it was officially MacOS [VERSION], before that it was referred to as system [VERSION], as in System 6 and so on. That was not an official name, it was the version number of the file `system` and was simply the system that ran on a Mac, because there was only one.

It got the official name MacOS when they allowed the selling of clones.

Up until recently, it was Mac OS X.

We colloquially call it "Mac OS" in English too.
