Re: I want to add a name to the database, but I don't know what to put for usage
Giovio and Jovio would sound the same, so it's a spelling issue. Like Susan and Suzan. Wikipedia stays with Giovio, and I would too. He would have used the Latin version if he ever had to write and then sign a document, and no doubt he could and did speak Latin, but it wouldn't have been his baptismal name.

So, when I submit the names, do you recommend that I do the following?- Submit Giovio and mention Jovio in the text, but not submit Jovio separately
- Submit Jovius as a Latin variant of GiovioThank you for the help, Anneza
