Jowston is the name of the hill where Muse was found and when the other city-states decided to join, they called themselves the City-States of Jowston.
As for choosing the name of Dunan, the large lake is called Dunan so they took the name of that. There was also a kingdom called the Dunan Monarchy that was in the area a long time ago so that's also a possibility of why Jowston is now known as Dunan.

Dunan is a republic instead of a loose confederacy of sovereign city-states. Dunan has a president who is the head of the government, while in the City States of Jowston, you had no president--only a loose coalition headed by one of the regional leaders, and the leader of Jowston would have little control over other city-states.

ok .. guess i get it now
Dunan Monarchy was beaten by Highland army ... then the people in Dunan don't like Highland and rebel towards Highland. That is the ending of Dunan.
After that the Jowstone City State is formed with many states like Muse, South Window, Greenhill, Matilda, Tinto, etc.
But after the Dunan Unification War, the whole region of Dunan is merged into one nation called Dunan except Tinto who is independence.

Highland had nothing to do with Dunan becoming the City-states of Jowston.
These timeline entries should be able to help you out.
And then Tinto secedes.
Those quotes are all from Suikox by the way.

IS - 110: Kingdom of Dunan
King Bernand established the Kingdom of Dunan with South Window as its capital. The areas of Muse, Two River, Greenhill, and Matilda were all initially part of this kingdom.
IS - 185: Founding of Muse
The City of Muse broke away from the Kingdom of Dunan. The Muse Principality included the present day Greenhill and Matilda areas as well. The government of the principality was entrusted to an elected mayor. The first mayor was Revier.
IS - 212: Two River Independence
A Senate and Congress was formed at Two River and started to govern the surrounding area, thus breaking away from the Kingdom of Dunan.
IS - 252: Kingdom of Dunan Ends
Following the secession of Muse and Two River, the Kingdom of Dunan continued to lose its power due to weak leadership. Tired of incompetence, the people of South Window rebelled and defeated the kingdom, establishing self-rule with an elected mayor. The Highland Kingdom invaded eastern South Window (present-day eastern Muse) during this confusion.
IS - 280: Matilda Knights Formed
To counter Highland's military strength, the Matilda Knights were formed with the financial support of Muse. Knights in surrounding areas joined this force and took up residence in northern Muse Principality.
IS - 294: Matilda Knights Gain Independence
The Matilda Knights gained independence from Muse rule so that they could create the Matilda Knightdom. Land Reform was issued to equalize the cost of land in the Matilda Knight's land and the land that belonged to the knights in Muse.
IS - 314: Creation of Jowstone Alliance
Muse, South Window, Two River, and Matilda formed the Jowstone alliance. The name was chosen based on Mayor Jowstone, who defended an attack by the Highland Kingdom on a hill north of Muse, which later became known as Jowstone Hill. However, the Matilda Knights disagreed with the naming of the alliance due to their insistence that they defended Muse during the attack by the Highland Kingdom. However, they conceded when the naming was amended to represent the hill instead of the person.
IS - 362: The Grand Leaf Academy Opened
The Principality of Muse created an academy in the Greenhill region. Named the Grand Leaf Academy, the school was built to educate children in Jowstone. Alen Wisemail was its first principal.
IS - 366: City-State of Tinto
The mining town of Tinto became an independent city-state by using the Tinto Miner's Guild's core bureaucratic structure. Tinto promptly joined the Jowstone Alliance.
IS - 373: Greenhill Secedes from Muse
Insisting upon the "independence of higher learning," Greenhill petitioned the alliance for independence. Uriah, the mayor of Muse, approved this, granting Greenhill its independence.
IS - 378: Greenhill Enters Alliance
After all bureaucratic structures were moved to Greehill, Greenhill was admitted entrance into the Jowstone Alliance, becoming a member state.
Then the Dunan Unification War.IS - 392: Academic Reform in Greenhill
Greenhill reformed its governing structure to a democratic system. The position of principal was no longer the hereditary right of the Wisemail family but was instead changed to a democratic election system. With this reform, the name of the academy was changed to New Leaf Academy.
And then Tinto secedes.

Dunan was indeed the orginal name of the Jowston city states, because Dunan once was a royal family.
