Is it supposed to be the same person? IIRC in the new film she was named by Noa and Raka.

She is listed as both Nova & Mae on TMDB, IMDb, & Wikipedia.

In "War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)" the little girl - whose real name is unknown - was named 'Nova' by the orangutan Maurice. "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)" is set about three hundred years later, and 'Nova' has been dead a long time ago. Since the first Nova, all human females have been named Nova by the group of apes belonging to the Order of Caesar.
Raka (orangutan): "She is smarter than most. We will name her Nova. We name them all Nova."
Later the woman, named Nova by Raka, reveals that she is not mute, and her name is Mae.
Mae (aka Nova): "I have a name. Mae."
Sidenote
Nova is a popular character from the film "Planet of the Apes (1968)" and the human astronaut Taylor gave her that name when he met her for the first time. Screenwriter Bomback wanted that name in "War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)" and so he included a mute girl, who was then named Nova - call it an 'Easter egg' - by the orangutan Maurice. This caused confusion about the original character, so in the next movie "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)", it was explained that all human females are named Nova, so that in the future when there is a reboot of the original movie and a mute woman appears named Nova, the audience will know that it is just another word used by the apes to name a human female.
