Germanizing names   Why is Tsanders name transformed into a German spelling  Its particularly incorrect to change the speling of his middle name which is a Russianstyle patronymic  And if his grandfather was named Konstantin it is not clear he was even purely ethnic German  Do we even know if his family spoke German or spelled their name in that fashion  This was inappropriate and non traditional  The German and Latvian spellings could be mentioned at the beginning but it is very peculiar to spell his name Zander
