Ever hear of King Ferdinand of Spain?  His real name was, of course, 
Fernando -- Ferdinand is merely the English equivalent.  Likewise, 
English and Spanish speakers use different names for the same explorer 
-- "Christopher Columbus" vs. "Cristobal Colon".  We have the Greek 
Odysseus, who the Romans called Ulysses, and the Greek god Zeus, who the 
Romans called Jupiter.  In modern times we have the names of Chinese 
people and cities changing as different methods of transcribing Chines 
to English gain favor -- Peking became Beijing, and Mao Tse Tung became 
Mao Zedong.
