Watwat (Vatvat) derived from arabic word وطواط which means "swallow (or bat)". In persian language his name is also وطواط (see this persian publication of "
Diwan Watwat"). In every persian sources - he is وطواط, not واتوات. Persian واتوات is fake name added by someone who don't know persian/arabic lang.

So what? By that logic we should add the Arabic script to every person with an Arabic name, something which Muslims usually have. --

So that: his persian name is وطواط (read any persian book/article/research about him). Persian uses arabic script (if you don't know). Don't add fake name. That's all. — Preceding

If your concern is a typo, then by all means, go ahead and correct it. If you're gonna be patronizing, then at least do it right. Persian uses the
Persian alphabet (a modification of the Arabic script), not the actual
Arabic script, which you tried to add. --
