In Europe, especially Italy, her name was changed to Vaiana because searching Moana returns some spicy results. Just saying 🤓
IIRC there were also some trademark issues?
Yes, I heard somewhere that the name was already registered in Spain. And maybe also in Poland, but I'm less confident about this one.

Curious what was wrong with Moana?
Moana specifically is pretty good. 1 was fantastic, but Moana 2 I felt was just slightly too girlbossy.
But I guess in general Disney's portral of women feels to be lacking. Marvel is one of the worst offenders. She Hulk just skipped past any sort of struggle one would expect with someone who can transform into the hulk, because "Women can control their emotions, better."
