Because ISO 8859-7 called it "LAMDA" rather than "LAMBDA". Note that Unicode 1.0 called it "LAMBDA", but synchronization of names for Unicode 1.1 (in 1993) was towards ISO names, and the drafts for ISO 10646-1 got their Greek letter names from ISO 8859-7 practice. > The latter is used in > other places where a glyph is based on the lambda, e.g. > "U+019B LATIN SMALL LETTER LAMBDA WITH STROKE" Yep. Known inconsistency -- but this is not considered an error. --Ken
