Dukes of Teschen (Dukes of Cieszyn not a historical name at all)

Google books result :Dukes of Cieszyn = 1400-1920 = 3 books

1400-1945 = 20 books, 1960 = 44, 1980 =104, 2008=200 books

Google book result :Dukes of Teschen 1400-1945 = 798 books, 2008 = 858 books

Duke of Cieszyn by 1920 = result 3 books, 1945 = 20 books, 2008 = 200 books

Despite that there were no Dukes of Cieszyn until after 1920/1945, and the name Duke of Teschen is the correct one, a group of people at Wikipedia [1] want to force recently invented names, such as Dukes of Cieszyn on the public, insinuating, that this is the long established correct name
