It looks like you should not give up hope yet: The facts in the article
will need references. You can refer to books or online sources alike.

I would also record the different spellings in Wikidata to start unfolding
the case. Usually they are just dumped in the aliases section. If there is
more information about a variant of a name, it can be described with more
properties and qualifiers. For example you can change the label of the item
to be the preferred label and move the current one into aliases. And/or you
can define the official name property, and base that on a source that you
reference.

Cheers
Susanna
