linguistically it has Dutch origins?
Linguistically in Dutch the discussion is the same as in English. I guess we are more used to it though. On company frequency's we use 'dit is ... van de KLM 123'. I guess it slips out on ATC from time to time as well...

The only time I came across this was in the Caribbean when BN-2 Islanders often made calls as "The xx-xxx". Not sure why they thought it necessary to do this. Watching too many movies I guess. I used to cringe every time I heard it.
