i have noticed that in the spelling of the names, especially when i read the books. thats why i prefer to listen the audios, makes it easier to follow since i wont get hung up on the names. but i would guess that most of the names we see, save some from harchong, have evolved into a welsh spelling of the name. that why we see so many uses of "y" in the names. it also seems that those names are the result of the evolution of the language, since the recorded names of the "Archangels" never really change, and many of the names from siddarmark, which is one of the oldest nation on safehold, after harchong and has kept to the original goverment placed after colonization, still closely resemble the original spelling, compared to the reamls that became empire or kingdoms, ect.
