Fun fact, there is also very alike named region in Croatia with same pronunciation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalmatia

So in case you don't like dogs, you would definitely like this region then :)

I've heard multiple international contributors indicate they don't know how to pronounce Dalmatian. If you have not heard this word said and want to know how to pronounce it, there's a nice pronunciation tool in Cambridge dictionary to help: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/dalmatian.

Also some context on why it might have won: https://www.shutterstock.com/search/dalmatian-puppy :).
