His full name was Hernan Cortes de Monroy y Pizarro.Although Hernando and even Fernanado are just as correct, as he used them during his lifetime, but Hernan Cortes is the most common form used in the Spanish and English language.The surname Cortes is the correct form.

Hernan Cortes. The name of the city before the conquest was Mexico-Tenochtitlan, so he only dropped the Tenochtitlan part of the name. At the time, it was a common practice to keep the name of conquered cities, only changing them to be easier to pronounce in Spanish language.
