The name got changed but in Palermo was di na Talie , Eilis Island messed up many names when they went through.

Yes, the genealogies are fun.

I've looked at some of the Ellis Island records (both microfilm and online). There were handwritten ship manifests (toward the end they were typewritten). Some ships stopped several places before crossing the Atlantic and so the ship manifests were not all necessarily filled out by the same person. I found my grandfather's name there--misspelled (but in another column where it asked for a relative in the country of origin, it had his father's name spelled right).

Palermo is one of the places my grandfather's ship stopped at en route.
