China's keeping me from getting to ngram or Google Scholar but it seems exceedingly dubious that this guy's COMMON ENGLISH name is a traditional Latinized first name followed by a modern transliterated Russian surname. It's almost certainly either Antioch Cantemir (Anglicized), Antiochus Cantemir (Latinized), or some form of Antioch Kantemir (Russian).

His name is also exactly the same as his uncle, who we've forked to Antioh Cantemir because he stayed in Romania. It might be best to just have all the various names point to a dab and then distinguish between the two of them (possibly by dates or as Antioch Cantemir, Prince of Russia, and Antioch Cantemir, Prince of Moldavia, but it might be the case that all the Anglicized and Latinized forms of the name are only used for the scholar. Needs looking into. — LlywelynII 01:39, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
