I'm not positive what you mean, but Paris is also called
Alexander in Homer. And supposedly Priam was originally
called Podarces and underwent a name change.
A lot of non-Romans in Roman times had double names. King
Tut changed his name.
Here are some examples from the Bible:
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king
in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
2 Kings 24:17
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah
and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim.
2 Chronicles 36:4
Maybe this helps.
