The article
Urak Lawoi says another name for that group is Orang laut, and looking at
book sources this seems to be true, or at least Urak Lawoi is a northern sub-group of Orang laut. I think the pages would be best merged rather than discussing the same group twice.

The Urak Lawoi are a ethnic sub-group of the Orang Laut, as well as the Duano. Although a merger would be possible, it is also not wrong to leave the article.
A wrong statement however is, that it is an alternative name for Orang Laut.
The reference is page 327 of Clifford Sather: The Bajau Laut - Adaption, History, And Fate In A Maritime Fishing Society Of South-Eastern Sabah, Oxford University Press, Kuala Lumpur, 1997,

Add "Orang Laut" literally translates as "Sea People"?
I think would make clearer the relationship of the people to the sea. "Seafaring people" doesn't fully describe these people since Danes are also often described as seafaring people, but that's very different.
In the literal sense, it's "Sea people". But "People of the Sea" is isn't wrong either. It's just weird or maybe over-dramatic to describe a person's ethnicity as such. Not too sure if it's anthropologically valid. -
