It's just a guess, but it's a good one. Regardless, that's a wonderful tiny bunny.

When did Holland change its name to the Netherlands?
it never really was changed. Holland is just another name for The Netherlands!!!!
edit: In fact it was the other way around (more or less)
Before 1814, this is when The Kingdom of the Netherlands was grounded, the people in the western part of nowadays Netherlands called themselves Hollanders. Since most foreigners met only sailors from this area they believed everybody living between Germany, France and the Northsea were Hollanders.
So Holland became a part of The Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1814, there are still 2 provinces in the western part of the Netherlands called North-Holland and South-Holland, which are the 2 most important provinces based on the amount of citizens and global companies, Amsterdam the capital is in North-Holland, Rotterdam with the greatest harbor in the world and The Hague, the city where the government is settled are in South-Holland.
