Name of Subject

The title of the article is Abu al-Hasan al-Esfahani. He is referred to by name twice in the article. The first time, at the beginning of the lead paragraph, he is "Ayatullah al-Uzma Sayyid Abul Hasan Isfahani". At the beginning of the second paragraph he is "Sayyid Abul Hasan Isfahani". Are these truly the same person? If so, why is there no consistency for his names or some explanation for the inconsistency? JimCubb (talk) 23:24, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Ayatullah al-Uzma" is not name, its title.
