Why the name American Tiger?

The AT is the whitest datnoid compared to all the other datnoids that are yellow/gold, so they call it the American Datnoid. Or maybe the AT is so ugly by calling it the American Datnoid, Americans might buy it just base on the name (marketing gimmick).
Well, here's my theory:
Most "Normal" Datnoids found in the South-East Asia have a very light brown to yellow base-color.
Hence, to differentiate this "White/Silver" Datnoid with a much lighter base color, the local might have started calling "American Tiger"

My theory seems the most possible, everyone else's theories was base on locations where the AT comes from. Yet the AT's range isn't anywhere near the U.S. and none of the AT's range is owned by the U.S. The AT is white/silver compared to all the other golden/yellow datnoids, most Americans are white i.e. American Tiger.

Thats equivalent of Americans discovering a black snake and naming it an African Snake. I dont think thats ethical.
American Tiger has nothing to do with the Americas unless an American discovered it which is extremely unlikely. An American wouldnt discover a dat is south east Asia and name it after america.
This country is the largest importer of Dats in the world. It would make sense for them to relate the fishes name to the country that has the highest demand for them. Simple marketing.
But it is just a common name, which is all it is, a common name. Most arent even that accurate to begin with.
