Pavol, does that look right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taher_Elgamal states:

Dr. Elgamal's surname has been spelled as two words (the Arabic "El" part is equivalent to "the" in English), and as a single word with a medial capital. The cryptographic literature is full of both spellings. Dr. Elgamal himself spells it as a singly capitalized surname, as this is less likely to be mangled in English.

But we do see the encryption algorithm being done with a capital 'G' a lot:
