Hi Brent,

> What is the source for the updated values in LocaleNames.properties?

The source is CLDR v37, which is currently used in the latest JDK release. They are extracted with a code snippet (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8255086?focusedCommentId=14375906&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-14375906), and non-ASCII chars are Unicode escaped.

Modified the synopsis. Hope it made sense.
