Dear Sophie,
Your surname sounds Dutch, so maybe this book can help you answer
your question :
Ghesquiere, Rita : Van Nicolaas van Myra to Sinterklaas : de kracht
van een verhaal. Leuven : Davidsfonds, 1989.
It may not give you all the details you are looking for, but I am
sure it will give you the development of the legend and it might
refer you to other sources.
good luck,
Marleen
