From Old Dutch holt lant ("wood land"). A popular but false etymology holds that it is derived from hol land ("hollow land"), inspired by the low-lying geography of both the Dutch and the English region (Holland, Lincolnshire).

Proper noun

Holland

1. The Netherlands.
2. A region of the Netherlands formed by two provinces: North Holland and South Holland.
3. An English habitational surname for someone from the Netherlands, or from any of the various places in England named Holland.
