I went to New Zealand, and they use "Give Way" on their signs. I called it a "Yield Sign" and someone (an adult!) said that sounded like some archaic term.
That said, Yields are going out of favour it seems, except at roundabouts. I grew up in a 60's era subdivision that has almost exclusively Yield signs. Modern ones have exclusively stop signs instead, and in a few extra non-intuitive spots to boot.
