Aristotle was born in Stagira in northern Greece, and that's why he's sometimes referred to as the Stagyrite (also, Stagirite). He was called Notre Doctor (Our Doctor) by the great French Classicist, Pierre Cornielle. He was The Master of Them Who Know to Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy. He was The Philosopher to the Medievals.
A closer transliteration of his name would be Aristoteles. It's often shortened to Ari. (Aristotle Onassis was Ari, Telly is also short for Aristoteles--Telly Savalas' full first name was Aristoteles).
