On the Command & Conquer Wiki, the title 'Tiberian Dawn' is used to differentiate objects in this game from the ones in the rest of the series for practical reasons. The Chinese-language version of the game and the Gold Edition retained the original English name, but added a transliteration using Chinese characters as well. In Germany, the game was released under the name Command & Conquer: Teil 1 – Der Tiberiumkonflikt ('Command & Conquer: Part 1 - The Tiberium Conflict'), and later re-released as Command & Conquer: Der Tiberiumkonflikt. The name Command & Conquer was established after the release of Westwood first real-time strategy game, Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty, and was originally intended to be the name for a number of games that would 'strike the balance between the best of city-building simulators and the best of tactical combat games', with Dune II being part of that series.

Westwood themselves referred to the game as Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn as early as 1997, and would later adopt this name for the game's remaster. This name was later used by fans to distinguish the game from the series as a whole. Command & Conquer was developed under the name Tiberian Dawn.
