Yes. I had forgotten the exact derivation but was aware they are
two names for the same person (or god). I've actually seen six or
eight other names for this person. Most are, no doubt, other spellings
or languages but I don't know they all are.

There really should be an effort to standardize all these proper nouns
so that there is no confusion. I've seen 6 or 8 spellings for "Giza"
as well. Some of these are merely obsolete but it's as confusing as
the Chinese capital (Peking) with the constant changes. There are more
than twenty five English names for this city but it's never moved an inch.
God knows how many names in total exist or have existed.

I didn't even know the olympics were held in Turin, Italy since everyone
was referring to it as Torino.
