Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

This is the official name in English, based on the Dutch word order. In English, the wording we'd normally use would be "Amsterdam Schiphol Airport".

Schiphol means "Ship's Grave". The airport is located on the bed of a drained lake. Schiphol Lake used to be shallow and notorious for shipwrecks, which is where it's name coems from.
