Dhanoya, a simple y addition, might reflect a regional dialect or a simple mistake in old records. A shorter version, Dhana, exists, but it loses some of the original names feel. Another variation could be Dhanoah – a minor spelling shift perhaps caused by changing pronunciations or writing styles over time.
