Most common name in English sources? edit

Google Books ngrams says that Jacques Savorgnan de Brazza is more common than Giacomo Savorgnan di Brazzà. Google Scholar gives one hit for Jacques and three for Giacomo in English-language sources. NB that his brother is Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza at Wikipedia (not Pietro). Any insights on the subject's most common name in English-language sources? —  AjaxSmack  17:09, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • Good point, I have moved the article. Giacomo is the name he would usually have gone by, since he only spent 4 years in the French Congo and otherwise mostly lived in Italy, unlike his brother who became naturalized French. But Jacques is indeed most common in English sources. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:22, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
