The statement that the name is used among speakers of English and Dutch doesn't imply that is isn't used among speakers of other languages—especially a very closely related language like German. It might be less common, but Google around a bit and you'll find it comes up as a German name or name element, too. I like Behind the Name because it's more scholarly than the gajillion shlocky baby-name sites out there and doesn't hide the information behind a pay wall, but it doesn't know everything. {= )
