It seems to me it's a south-Indian ("dravidian"?) custom
to change Sanskrit transliteration spelling so that
for instance in words like "smRti" (smriti) and "shruti"
't' becomes 'th': "smrithi", "shruthi", and so on.
On the other hand, words like "Shiva" and "Shankara"
seem to be often spelled like "Siva", "Sankara", etc.
