It's something from the old days. In the early days (1600 - 1800) the country was called Holland because of the two main provinces are called Holland (North Holland and South Holland). Today the correct name for the country is the Netherlands and not Holland.

Once upon a time there was a little country. It had a lot of colonies and it was a very important and famous. The Netherlands had eleven provinces, but the most important were Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland. Together they were called Holland. Nowadays it's by foreigners called Holland, but the official name is the Netherlands.
