A problem with Varus being a darkin now

Well as you probably know Varus's short bio is up and it seems that Varus is the name of the darkin and he will be one of the 3 named darkin the others being Aatrox (that means cluel ,vile ,dark) Rhaast (that apparently means obey) . The problem is that Varus is the term for a knee deformity and doesn't have the "aa" in his name. Is it just me or he seems pretty out of place?

    Also here's the new bio for Varus:

One of the ancient race of darkin, Varus was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes, driving them almost to insanity before delivering the killing arrow. He was imprisoned at the end of the Darkin War, but escaped centuries later in the remade flesh of two Ionian hunters—they had unwittingly released him, cursed to bear the bow containing his bound essence. Varus now seeks out those who trapped him in order to enact his brutal vengeance, but the mortals' souls within him still resist every step of the way.

Varus renamed to Vaarus confirmed.

That's just the short form bio that got shipped early.

A Rioter even commented on this, but his comments seem to have gone ignored because people are still complaining about the short bio.

This is known as taking an arrow to the knee and is fully appropriate and relevant.

Another note to go along with Terminus's because his post is right, Riot confirmed that not all Darkin would have two a's in their name. Varus is clearly an example of this. This was stated when Kayn was released.

I think Varuna is pulled from the term Variole and virus.

That just feels like too big a retcon.
