first two instances are based on the same original latin word, portus

Why do English speakers use the Spanish name for Porto?

In Portuguese the name of the city is spelled with a definite article as "o Porto" (English:  the port). Consequently, its English name evolved from a misinterpretation of the oral pronunciation and referred to as "Oporto" in modern literature and by many speakers.
