The donkey kong wer’e all familiar with is the third one. DK 1/Cranky is from Donkey Kong (the one with Jumpman/Mario). DK jr from Donkey Kong Jr. DK III is from Country onwards

I don’t count Jr because he has a Jr in his name. The other two are just Donkey Kong.

He’s called Donkey Kong Jr. because he’s the son of the first Donkey Kong. His name is still Donkey Kong. And this is all the canon of the games. In DK 64, Cranky repeatedly calls DK his grandson and it’s been too long since I’ve played/read them but I’m pretty sure this is all stated in the Donkey Kong Country games and written material for the games.
