But you remember the raw to be the same? Can't find it myself either, guess I have an excuse to pick up the tankoubon now...

Still, if that is the case, obviously one is right and one is wrong, and I'd say most signs point to Erza being wrong. For starters, most names in FT seem to be based around western names and words. 'Erza' doesn't really mean anything whereas the germanic name 'Elsa' carries connotations to the classic norse myth of the valkyrie, which the character Erza/Elsa strongly resembles.

Also, 'Erza' appeared before 'Elsa' in the manga, meaning that if it was a mistake by an assistant, it would be harder to spot for an editor not knowing the romaji spelling. If 'Elsa' was a mistake it should have at least been caught by the editor, as another spelling of the same name already had appeared.

All in all, my money is on Elsa.

Spoiler for Btw, chapter 33.:
