Is it “Thelonious” or “Thelmoious”?

I can’t find any good articles discussing the reasons for the differences in the spelling of Monk’s first name/stage name. His wiki page says his birth name is “Thelious Monk Jr.”

Surely someone has written about this, right?

EDIT: I forgot I was using a Firefox extension that swaps “Elon” to “Elmo” and I guess it was doing it within words too. LOL

      After the correction, I have no answer for you. “Thelmoious” returns zero web search results. No one here has ever heard this name or seen this spelling before you posted this question. I assumed it was a typo.

        @gedaliyah OMG. I figured it out.

        I was using a Firefox extension that was changing “Elon” to “Elmo”… I didn’t put a space before and after “Elon” in the prompt, so it was changing it everywhere. Even within words.
