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]
