'Holland' is another name for the Netherlands. Strictly spoken 'Holland' is just two provinces in the Netherlands: Noord (North) Holland an Zuid (south) Holland.

The Netherlands is actually one country, despite the fact that the word's plural form suggests differently. Yes, Dutch do come from the Netherlands (or Holland).
