Han Zhao → Former Zhao – "Han Zhao" is potentially ambiguous, as it could also be a person's name, either surnamed " Zhao (surname)" or " Han (surname)". A Google Book Search also shows that "Former Zhao" is more common in books than "Han Zhao" to refer to the Sixteen Kingdoms state:

• 90 results for "Former Zhao" + "Sixteen Kingdoms"
• 76 reults for "Han Zhao" + "Sixteen Kingdoms" - If you get rid of the results copied/plagiarized/summarized from Wikipedia, there are only 41 results
• 43 results for "Former Zhao" + "Sixteen States"
• 8 results for "Han Zhao" + "Sixteen States" Timmyshin ( talk) 16:54, 6 June 2015 (UTC) reply
• Support per nom, per WP:COMMONNAME, and for being unambiguous and WP:PRECISE. Support also per WP:CONSISTENCY with the associated title Later Zhao, as well as for CONSISTENCY with the titles of six of the other Sixteen Kingdoms: Former Qin, Later Qin, Former Yan, Later Yan, Former Liang, and Later Liang (Sixteen Kingdoms).

• Support - as per Khestwol's comments, this is common and in line with the other Wiki page names. Ogress _smash! 21:03, 6 June 2015 (UTC) reply
