Anziku Kingdom → Tio Kingdom – WP:Common name is either Great Makoko or Tio Kingdom per ngrams. Great Makoko doesn't seem to appear in titles much, whereas Tio Kingdom does ([1], [2]), and the "k" is capitalised Kowal2701 (talk) 19:46, 15 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Comment for context, Great Makoko was what Europeans called it, deriving from the term "makoko" for their rulers, and is favoured by Thornton, while Tio Kingdom is named after the ethnic group Tio people and is favoured by Vansina, who's responsible for the spike on ngrams
