Our generated misspelling index lists 14 likely wrong-spelling variants for Spartacus, with forms such as "psartacus", "saprtacus", and "sparatcus". 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. No confusable counterpart is on file for this word, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.

Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct French form is Spartacus, spelled S-P-A-R-T-A-C-U-S.
