- Academic facts based on written and preserving ancient books are saying that his name spelling was and still is with ΟΣ.4
So fare ,the most ancient book reached at the net is the book of Alex's biography written by Plutarch
in 1919 AD . Let's hope some older edition still exist

*** The most striking example, which is in front of the noses of everyone, is the testimony from the coins of Filip II of Macedon and his prodigious son, Alexander III. Let’s take for example the coins of Alexander the Great – as we know on all of them is written: “ALEXANDROY”, which according to the original voicing of the letter “Y” (Phoenician “VAV”, allograph “UAU”, hence as “V” transliterated into “U”) is pronounced “ALEXANDROU” [dative declension, i.e. „Alexander‟s / of Alexander‟]which exactly corresponds to today Macedonian “ALEXANDROV” (i.e. „Alexander‟s‟ in plain English).
As we know from the grammar, “(the Macedonic suffixes) -OV, -EV, -IN, are short forms of possessive adjectives, the ones ending in -SKI are full forms.” That the above examples of possessive adjectives are correct, and that the „-OY/-OV‟ is not just a part of the original full name, but an intentionally added suffix, is testified by the coins of Alexander I of Macedon and other previous Macedonian kings, where the Macedonic dative-possessive adjective is absent.
On top of that, this epithetical possessive adjective, much, much-much later was even politically transformed and revoiced, by today's modern Latin-corrupted transliteration from „-OY‟ to „-OS‟(?!), just to hide under the carpet its real Macedonic meaning. Thus, the above DHMHTRIOY („DIMITRIOU‟) and/or ALEXANROY for no apparent reason became “Dimitrios” and “Alexandros” respectively. The Spanish suffix “-os” was introduced in the Balkans and Latin transcripts from the Septuagint Koine only after the exodus of Sephardic Jews from Spain in 1496-1497. How and why the cunning Latin transcribers and history rewriters managed to commit such a blatant lexical incongruity is an unknown and well-ignored mystery until today. The new hotchpotch “Greex” (ex-Jews, ex-Turks, Mameluks, Klepths, etc.) of the 19th-century western-created colony “Greece” stubbornly and „proudly‟ continues to repeat this ignorant political misinformation, and to read the “Y” as “S”. Below are the Macedonian coins from the pre-Filip II (and Alexander the Great) era of the Macedonian kings Alexandro I of Macedon, Amynta, Archelao, Aeropo, Perdikka, and Filippo, where the Macedonic dative-possessive adjective is absent. This is explained by the fact that Alexandro (anglicized Alexander) I of Macedon and the other older kings on the coins minted with their names were praised in a rather simple and sober way, as every normal Macedonian king in the past. But in the case of Filip II and Alexander III the Great, the possessive adjective was added as a higher-rank epithet of social importance, accenting their absolute imperial right and majestic grandeur. Alexander's successors later equally emulated this royal exclusiveness introduced by them.
