For pages related to the man, use "Przhevalsky".

A third standard! A lot of those pages link to "Prejevalski"... he's turning out to be like the mathematician Chebyshev, whose name appeared in 24 different spellings in various journals, according to one of my professors.

Carbonated drinks in 1811 had just started to exist, and were not called by that name, however.
English dictionaries from the first half of the 19th C, when they list the word, present it as a technical/chemical term with a definition along the lines of 'impregnated with carbon' or 'converted into a carbonate'.
I find no use of 'carbonated water' or 'carbonated drink' in any pre-1850 publication in Google Books.

Interestingly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonated
