In any case, I doubt that RJ wanted to have two Queen Ethenielles of Kandor from different Houses, which still seem to have lived relatively close together. It seems like a mistake (at least if Ethenielle didn't change her name for some reason, e.g. marriage, as Lord Haart suggested).
Nothing in SaSG hints at Rand's growing influence in the world, thus one should probably place the writing of the text at the time between EotW till TDR, or maybe a few years before EotW (obviously the infos in the text aren't common knowledge in nowadays Randland, therefore it can't be that old). I tend to think that Ethenielle Kirukon Materasu is the correct name, since two sources mention it, and it alludes at Kirukan.
But you are right, only the notes can tell us the correct name (it might appear in the main series yet).

When will a character read "The Strike at Shayol Ghul"?

Until Ethenielle dies or is deposed, you cannot claim this has been written yet, much less published

I would say it's probably a mistake in the Guide

Elayne was named after the grandmother of the High Seat of another House. And what about Henry VIII?

It's also possible that in Kandor, like Seanchan, the rulers get new names occasionally. *NM*
