Wait... it’s called sunfish in English ? In French we call it « Poisson Lune » literally Moon Fish
Edit : to recapitulate, the Mola Mola (scientific name of this fish) is called Sunfish in English speaking countries and in Hungary, while it is called Moonfish in many European countries (France, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Romania, Norway, Greece) and also in Russia and Iceland. It is also called Chuckfish in Finland, Lump Fish fish in Sweden and Danemark, Rollover fish or Toppled Wheel fish in China, Hola Ba in Hawaï and in Poland it’s called Head. Just Head.
Edit 2: Updated the names and thanks for the Silver
Edit 3 : I suddenly remembered that Czechoslovakia stopped to exist in 1992 and took this name because I couldn’t find the translation for « République Tchèque » (Czech Republic) and wrote the closest thing I had in memory. Holy fuck my brain fried over that.

I just realized my Kindergarten drawings of fish were entirely accurate.
