well to be even more exact, if you think about it a little Assassin aren't supposed to be known, they're cloak and dagger movement so ofc their name should've never be known, only bad assassin (pretty much those who get caught) is recorded in history and have proper name, those like Jing Ke or Mata Hari.. however recently poisoning are also accepted as method of assassination starting with Semiramis, to Cleopatra, Shuten and Wu Zetian.

What I want to highlight is the original assassin concept. In the original Stay Night the concept behind assassin is those who have no name but known as certain identity, what exist is the Hero name (Hassan-i-sabbah, Sakaki Kojiroul, JTR) what doesn't exist is spesific spirit assigned to that name. Thus it's possible for different wraith or maybe concept to fill in the shoes of that heroes. Basically wether they actually exist or not is not important, however this is a special characteristic of Assassin class at least in the original FSN.

Tho there's no denying that she's recorded as a hero simply because she's famous person, however the hard thing to process is that who and how she's summoned as she is. The Frankenstein are quite chaotic cuz Apocarypha kinda depict her lore in ambiogus way.. Her master talks as if the story of Victor Frankenstein is a real event however I'm sure he also mention that frankenstein is  a fiction. if she's a fiction then the question is that who are supposed to fill her shoes? the name frankenstein are indeed there but who's qualified to become the stand-in for the non-existent frankenstein souls.

and secondly why she's a she? basically why's she the bride of Frankenstein rather than the normal frankenstein monster. the explanation of Artoria and Nero genderbent is simply the history got her gender wrong,, but for Frankenstein who does not exist at all those explanation cannot pass. Well that is just among few things I found puzzling in Apocrypha lore tho..
