Do you live in the Province 'Holland'?henritje said:
If not, then you live in the Netherlands. There's a huge difference between "holland" and "the Netherlands". you should know that being Dutch. Oh, and stating it as 'I live in the suburbs of Holland' it would imply that Holland is a city?
Okay, lets see. Do you dislike "Limburgians" for any trivial reason?
I live in the province of Gelderland I dont hate Limburgians and I,m going to fix it nowExia91 said:
No hate? Really? I have many stories from people and read about them in newspapers that more than half the country can't stand Limburgians because of dialect and many other silly trivial reasons. You are not one of them prejudiced people. I salute you, sir.henritje said:
Actually, Holland is a degenerate of the Dutch word 'Houtland' (translated 'woodland') as far as I know. The Netherlands, in Dutch 'de Nederlanden' a.k.a. 'de lage landen' was called that way because we are living on such a flat piece of land. Though we do have two provinces called North and South Holland but that was because the republic of Holland (yes we were a republicExia91 said:
) had 7 provinces when this country got a name. (Anyone correct me on this if I might be wrong)

During the Golden Ages that the 7 provinces experienced Holland was the most powerfull of these 7. Across the continent The Lowlands were called Holland just due to this fact. Now the Netherlands actually consists of parts of belgium as well, atleast if we were to have kept the borders in this "golden age" period. Named after the flat land like you said in your post.
Nowadays, the Netherlands are known as the 12 provinces the country consists of. The Kingdom of the Netherlands includes Suriname and those Islands ( Aruba etc.). The 'status' Holland had in the Golden Age is long gone, and "Holland" is nowadays just the Province and not the country.
So to conclude: Holland nowadays is called that way because of many a centery ago. But basicly, my first comment covered it correctly. though your post is correct on other parts as well. We should share this historical fact cookie.
