Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi has been in the headlines a lot this week -- he's visiting the U.S. for the first time since he took power 40 years ago, and his arrival is not without controversy.

But politics aside, we've come across a list of the many different English spellings of Gaddafi's name. Because of the difficulty translating Arabic to English, there are several different translations -- the Library of Congress lists 72 alternate spellings, and the New York times, Associated Press and Xinhua news sources used 40 additional spellings between 1998 and 2008.
