Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in English, French and Swedish. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.

Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
