This is true. More interesting question was when and why we stopped being called 'Hibernians' and started being referred to as 'Hibernian'.
I might be wrong but I’m sure we were called Hibernians before folding and then came back as Hibernian

club never folded,they could not field a worthwhile team to fulfil fixtures though but membership fees were paid by Hibernian swimming club until such time that they could field a team worthy of the name.

Nope. Club was called Hibernian since 1875.
