[INDOLOGY] Aśoka, Ashoka, Ahsoka

[Tieken, H.J.H. (Herman)]

Dear List members,

I saw announced a sequel to Star Wars which features a character called Ahsoka. I am curious to know if this is a mangled version of Aśoka, via Ashoka (in Dutch papers the aspiration in the name Gandhi is often misplaced: Ghandi).

with kind regards, Herman
