Jepp. Things are named by their boundaries. The Alps are the Alps because they start and end somewhere. The big forest covering basically all of northern Europe doesn't. So only the parts with clear boundaries got names. Like, the forest in the kingdoms of Bavaria or Bohemia are called... drumroll... Bavarian Forest and Bohemian Forest. Forests below a certain size don't have names, what'd be the point of it?
