As I was writing this, someone moved the page to its current location. The question still stands - which is the most common spelling? Are alternate spellings almost as common or are they much rarer? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:17, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A different editor just moved it to

Polycarpos Giorkatzis (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Since the page was moved 4 years ago, other online sources started reporting him as "Polycarpos Giorkatzis". However, the most common latinization of his name throughout the years has been "Polycarpos Yiorkadjis". This is also the spelling used by his family today. Should this be moved? 2A04:4A43:970F:FA26:3548:7828:EE91:8B63 (talk) 00:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
