Wrong Name

[edit]

This guy's name is "Christo". Making a note here to come back and edit cause the page name needs to be renamed. If it were just a copy edit I'd do it right now. - SquawkGuard (talk) 11:42, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Returned to this problem and I think that this page should have a redirect. I stumbled onto this issue because The Himalayan Database, which is one of the most complete on Everest and is a source for publications like BBC and the Atlantic, had him listed as Christo, and so did other sources.
However, because he was Bulgarian I believe this is a translation problem. English speakers use Hristo and Christo it seems. (Though I imagine the root is "Christ")
