Actually, like all American planes. It was the British who started calling them the Buffalo first. And so is the same with the Wildcat, Warhawk/Tomahawk/Kittyhawk, and some others I can't think of right away. The Americans, just adopted the names given, and then gradually started giving names to their planes on their own.
