How to handle different spellings of names?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

As a no coding person I´m trying to figure out which approach that is the best to handle person names with different spellings. Like my name that can be spelled Michael, Mickael, or Mikael.
Or names like Desiré that people often search without the apostrophe. As it is now our visitors misses the pages when searching without the apostrophe since our elastic doesn't take that in consideration.

Could one approach be to have a document with different spellings of names that I as a editor is responsible for and Elastic always look at that list every time a search is conducted? Or?
/ Michael

You could look at synonyms for the variations - Synonym token filter | Elasticsearch Guide [7.14] | Elastic
