Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Svetlana, with forms such as "sevtlana", "ssvetlana", and "sveltana". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "Shetland", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
