  My understanding is if it is a feasible construction, even if not 
specifically documented as a town or name, it should pass regardless.  I am 
sure that spelling or a slight variant would work assuming it is indeed a 
place name.
   As a suggestion though I would see if people used second or middle names 
in your period. If so I would personally suggest an additional name to 
Dietrich.  I can already recall seeing at least two Dietrich von X's 
someplace.  I could be wrong though.  The later period is not my interest.
