Who the hell is Hormuz and why does he have a strait?
The name comes from the Kingdom of Ormuz, which controlled the strait from the 12th to the 17th century. That name originally came from a compressed pronunciation of the Zoroastrian supreme creator deity, Ahura Mazda.

I fear it has always been the Strait of Hormuz (or Ormuz). This, for instance, a 1920 Times Atlas of the world.
Appreciate it also gets called Straits (see also ~ of Gibraltar) but a strait is a water body connecting two seas or water basins and does not need pluralisation.
