Bought a tin of, what I thought were, Sardines, from Aldi.

Turns out they are Sardinella

They look the same, so whats the difference?

Sardinella is the genus name for the group of fish species we call sardines. I expect, being Lidl, the tin is made for the European market rather than specifically UK. According to Google Sardinella is the Italian for Sardine (not suprisingly) so is the tin Italian?

I am Italian, sardine is sardina in my language, I don't think it is an italian product that's why I wanted to clarify that.
Sorry if I sounded pedantic.

Spanish?
It's an optional language in the Philippines.

Round sardinella (gilt sardine, Spanish sardine)

Are you sure? You're going against the Great God Google here!

I guess sardines are named after Sardinia? Or is the island named after the fish?

Well, I have always called a sardine "sardina", "sardinella" sounds new to me.
I have surely heard "sarda" but never that term.
It looks like sardines are named after the sea where Sardinia is (Sardegna in Italian).
You never know, it might be called like that somewhere in Italy
