"Echt" in Dutch and German is "real" or "genuine", so google probably
just dropped the 'n'.

"Knecht" is Dutch (and maybe also German), and is the male form of
"maid" as in "kitchenmaid" - a domestic or farm labourer. In Dutch the
word is these days used only to denote the 'assistants', as opposed
to the 'leader' in a cycling team.
