GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT
of some of your readers simply assuming an error on your part; they
aren't likely to turn to the dictionary to see if it would vindicate
you. It is usually better practice to go with the more standard form

ALTERNATE SPELLINGS OF FOREIGN NAl\1ES
A special category of alternate spellings is names of people, places
or other entities that have their origin in languages other than
English. This is particularly the case when the language of origin
uses an alphabet other than Latin, so the transliteration is not the
original spelling in any case. For example, the following may be
spelled more than one way:
Chassid (member of Jewish sect), Hassid or Hasid
Hindustani (language in India) or Hindostani
Leiden (Dutch city) or Leyden
Mao Tse-tung (Chinese leader) or Mao Ze-dong
Tchaikovsky (Russian composer) or Tschaikovsky
A good dictionary will include names of well-known people and
places and give the most common variations if any exist.
