The name "Holland" originates from the Dutch word "holt land," meaning "wooded land." Historically, it referred to two regions in the western part of the Netherlands, North Holland and South Holland, which were significant in the country's development. Over time, the term became synonymous with the entire country, although it technically refers only to these specific provinces. Today, "Holland" is often used informally to refer to the Netherlands as a whole.
