Answer:

Cortés himself used the form "Hernando" or "Fernando" for his first name, as seen in his signature and the title of an early portrait. William Hickling Prescott's Conquest of Mexico(1843) also refers to him as Hernando Cortés. At some point writers began using the shortened form of "Hernán" more generally.
