For years most of the expansions/DLCs have been named “rise (and equivalent) of somebody” or “dynasties (and equivalent) of somewhere”.  
I honestly think there could have more cultural/historical flavored names like some of the paradox game DLCs.

These are the names for the DLCs I came up with quickly:

1. Age of Empires Il: Definitive Edition: Wealth of Emperors - Bavarians civ, Saxonians civ and Hansa civ
2. Age of Empires Il: Definitive Edition: Župan’s of Balkans - Croatians civ, Romanians civ and Serbs civ
3. Age of Empires Il: Definitive Edition: Sailors of Mediterranean Sea - Aragonese civ and Venetians civ
4. Age of Empires Il: Definitive Edition: Kings of Scandinavia - Danes civ and Swedes civ
5. Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition: Lions of the North - Prussians civ, Danes civ and Poles civ

Just going to point out that the historical Lion of the North title refers to Gustavus Adolphus, the king of Sweden.
