The names are Sprewanen and Heveller - why Sprevjane and Havolane in Wikipedia ??? The overwhelming majority of google search results and books show Sprewanen for a former tribe in Berlin area.
[1] Sprevjane 400 appr.
[2] Sprewanen over 1700
[3] 16 books Sprewanen
[4] 3 books Sprevjane]
The same goes for the related Heveller in the same Berlin area
[5] Over 200 books: Heveller
[6] 2 books: Havolane]
Why are the odd unknown names Sprevjane and Havolane pushed in wikipedia???

There is no clear-cut standard English or Latin name as with some other tribes; it is obvious that "Sprevjane" is not used in English works, however. I chose "Sprevane", as it has been used in Encyclopedia Britannica. Other alternatives would be considered, of course; there are probably other variations I have not considered.
