The West has systemically erased any non-European achievement from its literature. Going as far as to rename prominent Muslim scholars such as Ibn Sinna and Ibn Rushd and give them names like Avicenna or Averroes.
Be me.
Middle ages monk.
Translating arabic works
Arabic omitted short vowels, so it was written e.g. BN.
My local Andalusian Arab neighbour pronounces that as Aven, Abven, Avin, and س Sin (s in sinna) was pronounced Ts.
So I write Avicenna.
And now some shmuck comes 1k years later and calls it malicious systemic erasure.
Literally starts with his name, and mention that he is known as Avicenna in the West.
Go to English Wikipedia and reverse the redirect to go to Ibn Sina from Avicenna, if that is the core of your problem. Wikipedia is famously free to edit.
Then google more to see all the damn example of using Ibn Sina (Avicenna).

Is this the excuse they came up with?
So change it back they know what it sounds like. It is fully Latinized for a much different reason.
