The term “variation” is relatively neutral and does not necessarily imply that a mistake has been made. Chapter 4 looked at transcription variants, which are technically neither correct nor incorrect. Similarly, the derivative forms of names discussed in Chapter 5 are not technically incorrect variations; they are simply more or less likely to be used to refer to a given person. In contrast, the phonetically-driven variations considered in Chapter 6 are errors in the spelling of a person’s name, though as linguistically motivated errors they form some of the most frequent misspellings of person names.
