      I don’t get it. Aren’t they pronounced mostly the same?

        I’ll do my best here - “Aristotle” is pronounced “Air-ih-stot-ul” whereas Chipotle is more like “Chip-oat-lee”

            They did say their best. Not that it’d be correct.

          Aristotle is only pronounced like that because Aristoteles was somehow too confusing for English speakers.

            Now that you mention it… he’s indeed called Aristoteles in my language… never noticed the spelling difference in english!

              Yup. The British did weird stuff to Roman names out of victorian reasons.

              Hadrianus becomes Hadrian, because of anus. They then also shortened others like Pompeius becoming Pompey etc.
