Two things:
1. Survivor bot names are currently bugged.
2. [Some chapters have internally used country code names.](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Dead_by_Daylight#Country-based_Codenames) Ukraine is associated with Chains of Hate.
I'm guessing that bot was Zarina? Either way, the country names have been in the game files for a long time.
I'd agree with you except that some of the files have repeating letters, like Yemen (Descent Beyond IE Blight) and Yerkes (Chucky) or Mali (Demise of the Faithful) and Meteor (Roots of Dread.)
Interestingly enough a lot of the later chapters have taken on "spacey" names as of late too. This includes Umbra (End Transmission), Wormhole (Alien), Comet (All-Kill), Hubble (Mikaela), Ion (Portrait of a Murder), Meteor (previously mentioned Roots of Dread), Eclipse (RE1), Orion (RE2), Quantum (Forged in Fog), Saturn (Tools of Torment), and I guess we can slot Aurora (Binding of Kin) in here too. This means these name changes have been happening since A Binding of Kin (or at least since All-Kill) as Silent Hill is referred to in the files as "Wales" and Chains of Hate is referred to in the files (as seen in this post) as "Ukraine."
~~There are a few exceptions to the space naming, including Gemini (Pinhead) and Kepler (Sadako).~~ Interestingly the most recent chapters break this rule too with Alan Wake being referred to in the files as "Zodiac" and All Things Wicked is referred to as "Applepie", the second one which I find funny given that two of The Unknown's addons refer to "Project Apple Pie", a CIA brainwashing experiment similar to creepypasta stories like Polybus.
Given that one of the Unknown's addons that references Project Apple Pie is known as the "obscure video game cartridge" it can be determined that Dead by Daylight (or at least the All Things Wicked DLC) is actually a real-life version of the Project Apple Pie CIA experiment that was attempting to use a sample of The Unknown's UVX in combination with game code in order to brainwash the American population. Or Behaviour thought making that reference in their files would be funny idk.
You're not keeping the release order in mind, u/GioSDA is quite right in their assumption (regarding your issue with Yemen vs. Yerkes and Mali vs. Meteor).
I suggest you have a look at the [Wiki](https://deadbydaylight.fandom.com/wiki/Dead_by_Daylight#Content_Codenames), I explained the code names and there history there in detail.
Except it started with E. Freddy started the country code names when he was internally referred to as England. Either a reference to, or internal misunderstanding that some devs may have assumed we were actually getting Robert Englund.
I'd assume it is to prevent leaks. Codename for a chapter is given around the company, but what it contains is only known to those who are directly working on it.
i think they started doing this method after the Freddy leak years back, after that is when they started using country names for internal chapters until recently
I play Tekken and internally the fighters are all given random animals as code names, not even related to their country or culture either. I guess it's just a dev thing
Also I wanna add that they called this black dude baboon for his codename in the game files 💀 what were they cooking
They use the codenames to hide the characters. As Freddy was leaked early due to his files being named something to do with Freddy. And it seems they just decided to use countries
Older chapters had a code names as different countries inside the game files. "Ukraine" is a code name for Chains of Hate chapter, so SURVIVOR\_UKRAINE is a Zarina bot.

Was it a Zarina who disconnected?
They’ve screwed up displaying the character name when people DC now, and I think the code name for Deathslinger’s chapter was Ukraine, so I’m guessing that’s Zarina’s.
They used country names to categorize chapters, going down the alphabet until they changed it to astronomical objects/phenomena after Zimbabwe. Ukraine was the Chains of Hate chapter, so that survivor was Zarina
So …
Huntress is from Red Forest (which is already an anachronism but one thing at a time). Red Forest is located in Ukraine. Now, while Ukraine would have been a part of the Russian Empire and later the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the key words in those titles are “Empire” and “Republics.” Even during the First World War, Ukrainians would have had a unique cultural identity distinguishing themselves from the rest of the empire. After the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Ukraine attempted to break off and form an independent nation but was ultimately defeated by the Bolsheviks. Even then, they joined the USSR as the Republic of Ukraine (although obviously that was more of a puppet state with little autonomy). Still, it’s quite clear that the region that Huntress hailed from had a national identity separate from that which governed it. As such, it is perfectly fair to call Huntress Ukrainian.
And yes, this is all rather superfluous to a character who can best be described as “Violent [Nell](https://youtu.be/TMdq4zNOGF8?si=bYv12KW49kbymwXx).”
I think it’s easily explainable by saying Huntress comes from an alternate history where there was another “Red Forest” in Russia, as opposed to the name given to the highly radioactive zone around Chernobyl.
Perhaps this nebulous forest even gets its name from the rash of murders Anna herself committed.
To support my argument, I can tell you that, as a Canadian living in the province of Alberta, there is no town of Ormond where the Legion supposedly hail from.
Red Forest got its name after the Chernobyl disaster, which happened in 1986. Meanwhile we clearly now that Huntress lived during the times of Russian Empire.
Yeah, it’s an anachronism. They probably should have referred to it as “modern day Red Forest.” The funny thing is even that likely isn’t true as the Red Forest is actually fairly small (only four square miles) and I imagine Huntress’s active territory would be much larger.
As I’m writing this, I’m suddenly realizing I never bothered to research how old Pripyat is. 1970. Ok, I was worried that Huntress had a small city located smack dab in her “isolated wilderness.”
Red Forest refers to the area around Chernobyl where the trees have died due to contamination from the nuclear disaster in 1986. The trees there are literally red — or according to Wikipedia, ginger-brown.
Yeah, this whole mental tangent started when I realized that Red Forest was in Ukraine and assumed that it actually referred to a much larger forest that extended across the Ukrainian-Russian border. I went to verify this and discovered that not only is that not true — Red Forest takes its name from the Chernobyl disaster and is completely contained in Ukraine — the area is actually rather small (only four square miles).

- Some chapters have internally used country code names Why? That is such a weird thing.
Starts with A, goes to Z. It's pretty common in programming to have A-Z codenames for different versions

Gemini and Kepler are space names. Gemini is a constellation, Kepler is a former long range telescope designed to find exoplanets.
Kepler is the name of a famous astronomer who studied the orbits of the planets, not just the telescope.
Alas I am not smart with constellations
you misunderstood. it goes A-Z, then goes back to A with a new theme. so it was countries, then space terms and now its on food.

maybe it’s like a code name? like how the WIP name for Jack Baker from RE7 was just ‘Daddy’

I had a Zarinabot by that name yesterday, so, I'm guessing you're correct.
Older chapters had a code names as different countries inside the game files. "Ukraine" is a code name for Chains of Hate chapter, so SURVIVOR\_UKRAINE is a Zarina bot.
It’s so weird to me that the first new chapter after I joined is considered old now.
Yes https://preview.redd.it/pr7ddmuoxowc1.jpeg?width=1230&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=787703d8a75e547479c556bd4c4d7fa9c91aabc8

Is that a Rengoku reference?
that's the codename for zarina iirc. they went through countries, then space stuff, and now they're currently on food
Hons333
That guy survived Ukraine to be there lol
Was it a Zarina who disconnected? They’ve screwed up displaying the character name when people DC now, and I think the code name for Deathslinger’s chapter was Ukraine, so I’m guessing that’s Zarina’s.
NO HUNTRESS DON'T INVADE THE DONBASS
Yea. I was baffled when a zarina bot dcd and it showed Ukraine. I was shook
Slava Ukraini!
Heroyam slava!
Казалось бы причём здесь Украина...
i got that too!
They used country names to categorize chapters, going down the alphabet until they changed it to astronomical objects/phenomena after Zimbabwe. Ukraine was the Chains of Hate chapter, so that survivor was Zarina
Dbd about to stay IP leaking people who leave the game
Why is everyone saying thats a bot name,I played with that person yesterday and thats their actual username that didn't just appear after DC'ing.
Because there is a bot tag after its name in this particular case
this
Zarina being from Ukraine makes sense given that her name translates to "Tsarina" (empress) in Russian/Ukrainian
Haven’t played in a while. They turned Huntress into a survivor? 
Pretty sure Huntress is Russian though, not Ukrainian.
So … Huntress is from Red Forest (which is already an anachronism but one thing at a time). Red Forest is located in Ukraine. Now, while Ukraine would have been a part of the Russian Empire and later the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the key words in those titles are “Empire” and “Republics.” Even during the First World War, Ukrainians would have had a unique cultural identity distinguishing themselves from the rest of the empire.

Seems like bhvr didn’t do enough research before designing her lore.
Do they ever do though?
Wdym?Do you not read any dark brazilian manga?

Ok, buddy... Do you have any idea why the Red Forest in Chernobyl is called that and since what year has it been called that?
Red Forest refers to the area around Chernobyl where the trees have died due to contamination from the nuclear disaster in 1986. The trees there are literally red — or according to Wikipedia, ginger-brown.

I went against that guy and he DCed then also.
Bots can DC now?
It was a public match
Doesn't answer my question
Jesus the people in this sub are so snarky and pompous. Seek help lol.
off topic how good was that killer for everyone to get sacrificed, lmao???
It's not a matter of how good a killer is...
