 Definition of Lectio difficilior potior
If one wants to determine the correct spelling of a name, and finds conflicting versions, it is often the more "difficult" one that is correct, not the one that is most widely used.
For example, a British politician was correctly named Peter Alexander Rupert Carington, Baron Carrington - the family name has only one "r", the peerage title two.
If Carrington were correct, there would hardly be such a high incidence of the particular misspelling Carington.
