Accepted answer
There is enough similarity in the names that this would appear to be a transcription error, for which true resolution would require referencing the oldest extant manuscripts for both sources. Manuscript transcription is an extremely complex process, and many medieval monks performing transcription are now believed to have been only marginally literate; errors were common.
