Everybody may be right. (This is not a site for philosophers.lol)

Take a reconstructed form of this name 3500 years ago,
or 2500 years ago, or 2000 years ago or 1500 years
ago, and we will have different forms.
And everybody can be happy.

[When you're reading books about mythology, be
carefull and follow your common sense. Most of these books are
selling sheer nonsense.]
