Bartel (also found spelled as Barthel) is a short form of Bartholomeus - not a diminutive. It arose in the medieval period from the many alternate spellings of Bartholomeus, such as: Bart(h)elemeus, Bart(h)elomeus, Bart(h)elmeus, etc.If Bartel were a diminutive, the name would have contained one of the Dutch diminutive suffixes, namely -ke and -tje (resulting in respectively Bartelke and Barteltje).It's understandable that the name is mistaken for a diminutive, though... what with -el and -l being used for diminutives in German. But that's German - we don't do that with names in Dutch.Also see:

You use Bartholomew in the description of this name, but not in the description for the related Dutch names Mees and Mies, where you use Bartholomeus instead:https://www.behindthename.com/name/meeshttps://www.behindthename.com/name/miesI assume Bartholomeus was actually supposed to be used here as well, since Bartel is listed as an exclusively Dutch name here (just like Mees and Mies are).
