I think it's all just a coincidence.

"Jan Jansen" really isn't that uncommon of a name. "Jan" appears in several languages including the Dutch, Scandinavian, Czech, Polish and German of "Johannes", and in medevial english as a form of "John" (which is itself an english form of "Johannes"). So in short Jan=John, and from what I know Jansen is a fairly common last name, so it isn't that hard to belive that two different people could have made it up.
