More likely than not a person with that name over here didn’t come directly from Holland.
The Dutch are the ones who first settled Manhattan and many other Dutch came there, even after it was a Brit colony. If you look at the names of early families who lived and stayed there, or moved upstate N.Y. or later moved to other sates/territories, you'll find a lot of names that at Dutch!
There's a once very famous American author, Hendrik Van Loon, who had that kind of name, for example. And his family came here DIRECTLY from Holland!
