Name of the article

[edit]

I suspect that Arykanda is Latinization of the Greek name and that Arycanda is the Latin name. The question is, which one should be used as the name for the article? The lead section mentions the Greek name first, but the title still has the Latin name. For places like Xanthos the Greek name is used as the name for the Wikipedia article too, so I guess we should change the name of this article to Arykanda. This seems natural because AFAIK in the eastern half of the Roman Empire they continued to use Greek even after the Roman conquest, right? I'm tempted to change the name right now, but I'd like to hear some other opnions about this first. --AlexanderVanLoon (talk) 18:29, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
