When did the Koran become the Qu’ran, and why?

Asked by anartist (14808points) May 26th, 2011

Does it coincide with some overall greater awareness of Muslim and Middle Eastern cultures [not the same thing] or are there simply fashions in spelling? If so are they started by reporters, statesmen, scholars? “How are you supposed to spell Muammar Gaddafi/Khadafy/Qadhafi?” has been asked here already. I also wonder as the the why of it all.
