Uri, Can you (or anyone) give one example where "their name appears" so
spelled earlier than modern times?

Well, this is disputed. Their name appears often with an Aleph from the
root Aleph Samkh Aleph, 'to heal', Aramaic.

And Essenes (and Ossenes) from the Hebrew root 'asah, in the self-designation
'osey hatorah, observers of torah, as known by Melanchthon in 1532 and by
others (as factores legis in Latin) before being confirmed in Qumran pesharim: http://www.duke.edu/~goranson/Essenes_&_Others.pdf
