How about SETH (sounds like old fashioned saith).
Vikram Seth
Wouldn't that be his surname, though ?
I thought maybe they reverse surname/first name in Indian circles.

I thought of Vikram Seth.....I wonder if the clue is a bit dodgy.
I cannot think of any other answer, but it seems a bit dodgy.

I haven't heard of Indians reversing surnames/ first names....but you may be correct.
I like Soto..A native american indian, plus a writer with the same surname (Gary Soto)

Seth is a first name in the West though - sounds like sayeth (from years ago, in the clue)?
