Looking at that test case, IMO, the current testing in that `NarrowNamesTest` is incorrect and is probably what hid this issue in the first place? To fix this, I have added an additional commit which updates this test case to properly test the `AM_PM` field values.

Hello Naoto,

> CalendarNameProviderImpl is an implementation detail, which is shared between j.u.Calendar and j.t.f.DateTimeFormatter(Builder) class, where it provides localized names for Calendar fields. For the field Calendar.AM_PM, it includes not only am/pm translations, but also day periods translations as you see.

Thank you for those details. That's very helpful.

>I'd rather modify the code like:

                            if (field == AM_PM && !javatime && i > PM) {
                                continue;
                            } else {
                                map.put(name, base + i);
                            }


I've taken your suggestion and updated the code to match this. In the update, I've included a code comment to explain what this block does. Please do let me know if that code comment isn't accurate and needs any updates.

 The new `CalendarDisplayNamesTest` continues to pass with this change. I updated the existing `NarrowNamesTest` to match the expectations of the `Calendar.getDisplayName()` API.

All jtreg tests in `test/jdk/java/util/Calendar` and `test/jdk/java/time/` continue to pass too. I have triggered a local run of `tier1` tests and will check back the results early morning tomorrow.

Thank you for your reviews so far.
