I doubt it; it would be odd if they were named after a fictional Dutch-American :)
Dutch is the adjective for things from the Netherlands, and also the demonym for people from there. The demonym for Denmark is Dane and the adjective is Danish.

Here is that image you posted, but with manually-written alt text added.
