Talk:John de Britto

Change "Brito" to "Britto"
Most authoritative documents that I have examined spell the name with two t's: "Britto" not "Brito". The documents spelling it "Britto" include: The only one I have found spelling it "Brito" that looks reasonably authoritative is:
 * Saint John de Brito at Patron Saints Index

I therefore propose to change the name of this article from "John de Brito" to "John de Britto". Wideangle (talk) 21:13, 8 July 2011 (UTC)


 * In modern Portuguese his name is always spelled Brito. Some english language sources still use the ancient Portuguese form of his name. Nowadays in modern Portuguese he appears exclusively as João de Brito.Mistico (talk) 19:02, 8 May 2014 (UTC)


 * This is the English-language Wikipedia. Nobody has offered any counterexamples, so I suggest the change from "Brito" to "Britto" be made. Mksword (talk) 23:54, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: page moved. Although there was a stub at the target before this article was created and a history merge would be possible, the previous stub doesn't seem to have contributed to this article, so it's not necessary... sadly.
