Bill:
This book talks about that. His given name was Herbert William Munro. The
title of the book is "One Good Run, (subtitle) The Legend of Burt Munro."
Page 9: "Readers will note that Burt begins life as Bert; this is
deliberate, as he only adopted the former spelling after his first journey
to America."

AFAIK it's really Burt). One of my heros.
