Dutch is Vader.

In German, it's Vater.

Not with that pronunciation. The prequels (with "Darth Sidious") make the "invader" source clear.

Americans pronounce a lot of foreign words wrongly.

"Vader" = "father" is equally made up, considering that the character was not originally anyone's father. It's a fun coincidence, nothing more.
