Well it seems like the earliest examples of “dumpling” in English meant a fairly broad category, dump meant a piece of dough. They were sometimes filled with cheese, or they had just fruit added to the dough, or herbs, and were cooked in various ways.
It might also be a case, as this happens in English a lot, that we use a word that is the closest to an equivalent item even if they are slightly different.

I was going off Wikipedia so I’m not sure but it sounds like there was a lot of variation.
