That's how the ending is usually pronounced in English though. Consider how Americans say "Rothschild".

Rothschild means "red shield", for anyone curious.

The full etymology:

>The name is derived from the German zum rothen Schild (with the old spelling "th"), meaning "at the red shield", in reference to the house where the family lived for many generations (in those days houses were designated not by numbers but by signs displaying different symbols or colours).
