Is it ‘Teneriffe’ or ‘Tenerife’–Spelling???

The island in the Canary Islands that this lace is named for is named/spelled ‘Tenerife’ with one ‘F’. But somehow, the lace itself has been spelled with two ‘F’s’.

It is my theory that Alexandra Stillwell’s publication of her book in _____ may have dictated how the lace is referred to, spelling-wise.
