First - names were NOT changed at Ellis Island. The names on the
manifests were from the port of departure. So if it was written as
VAllevieni on the manifest, it is because it was written that way on the
manifest.
Second, I always record the birth/baptismal name as the correct names.
All other names are then AKA's or Alias names and I document those name
changes for where I found them

My great grandfather had the surname Vallevegni in Italy.
When the family immigrated to the U.S. it changed to Vallevieni which
they used from then on (probably changed at Ellis Island).
How should I enter 2 surnames in Legayc?
