Yes you can use aria-label or aria-labelledby (if you have some suitable text for it to reference) to give the sitemap and breadcrumb navigation regions unique names. Think carefully about the names though. You could call the breadcrumb region "breadcrumbs" but that's a developer jargon term that a lot of end users have never heard. So "where am I?" may be better.

Can't we use aria labeledby to give a navigation region a unique label?

Ah what? There is no sitemap region tag or role, unless I'm missing something...
