I think they must have meant that its origins aren't clear. The name itself has never been hugely popular, but as you say, it's been around for a long time and is still in use.

It also gets used occasionally in Afrikaans for boys, by the way. One grew up to be the Springbok rugby captain ... a more butch occupation you can't imagine.
