Etymologically, the entry records: Named after the local Pomor businessman Ivan Starostin (born before 1780 - died 1826 or 1829) (also known as Ermil in some sources, probably confused with some other person with the same surname, but having first name Ермил (Jermil)). Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is Starostin Cape, spelled S-T-A-R-O-S-T-I-N- -C-A-P-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
