Well, since it's a common Dutch name I assume it's of Dutch (Germanic) origin. Maybe you could ask on the facts board?There's also a user-submitted name:

Feline Isabeau!I know that many Dutch speakers are fluent in English, but Feline is common enough a name that it doesn't seem a problem.I've always wanted to meet a Feline in an English speaking country so that I could call her Kitty as a joke nickname.
