Question:

What is the correct spelling for the last name that is pronounced Roebahn?

That was the last name of a teacher I had in elementary school. I don't know if that is the correct spelling. It is pronounced Roe Bahn.

and enter "Rowban", you'll get a nice assortment. The correct spelling depends on the person; "Smythe" and "Smith" are both correct, but for different families, as are "Clark" and "Clarke".

Spelling is always a crapshoot. I've seen people named "Mathis" spell it "Matthews", "Mathews" and "Mathis" in the same document.
