I posted this earlier on the Steam discussion page and was referred here by a user there:
Hi, I'm not an academic Sumerologist or Assyriologist, but I do have a more than passing interest in the Ancient Near East. I noticed that there were relatively fewer Mesopotamian civs in this game than were present in Civ 5, which is fine, but I also noticed the name of the civilization that Gilgamesh leads is listed as "Sumeria" rather than "Sumer".

This is an incorrect title for the ancient civilization, and an error I believe should be addressed and corrected by the developers in the name of historical accuracy. "Sumeria" is a common misnomer, and an understandable one considering its culture and people are called "Sumerian", but the correct name for the civilization would be "Sumer".
 
Though, to be honest, the name is the least of the problems with Civ6's Sumer. Really the civilization should just be renamed to "The Epic of Gilgamesh."
