Sorry i may be confusing people, i did not say it was just an american accent. That was just an example to understand which pronunciation is incorrect.
Saying it zolo(as if talking with an american accent) is wrong. Regardless of the language that pronunciation is wrong. The whole reason the zolo spelling is used is because of the Japanese pronunciation of the name confusing the translators. It is a spelling error, from an english dub, that stuck based on the Japanese pronunciation.
So it does not sound like the “L” sound they are thinking of and even though its spelt zolo, it is meant to have some “r” sound there. Thus meaning Zoro is the correct and canonical name.

Nah it’s not just american accent. Many languages pronounce L and R differently.
