We always see Hellenized / Romanized versions of other lands (e.g. "Persia", "India", "Africa") so it's nice to see the release nickname reference the eastern name for Ionia.

Yavana¹ is the standard word for Greeks in Indian languages. Heliodorus pillar is a great example of a Greek in India calling himself Yona².
