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. Cortez is incorrect, in Spanish the letters s and z have different sounds, and a whole host of identity and descent meanings. It is safe to say that he never used the spelling of Cortez while he was alive.
