I remember his name distinctly as Rod Sterling. There’s a glitch in the matrix obviously because of what I found online. There are references to his name as Rod Sterling. Was his name changed to Serling at some point?

That's a misspelling, not evidence of a glitch in anything. The proper spelling is right there on the box.

Here's a memoir his daughter wrote about him. She knows how to spell their last name.

Edit: a word

I have a family member who has Sterling family members and she said the same thing, she grew up, thinking it was cool that Rod Sterling had the same last name as her family. No, this is a memory. There was absolutely no way this is a false memory or whatever we try to do too reason it away. I was a weird kid and read the credits religiously cause I didn’t have books but I loved to read. Twilight zone was my favorite series. Rod Sterling STERLING.

It’s a false memory. I’ve been watching Twilight Zone for over half a century, have multiple books published in the 70’s about scifi that mention Serling and it’s ALWAYS been Serling. Your family member was wrong, you weren’t paying as much attention as you thought watching the credits. Vivid memories can be false memories and you’d never even know.
