The official name of Netherland is "Koninkrijk der Nederlanden" ("Kingdom of the Netherlands"). Dutch people call it shortly "Nederland". "Nederland" consists of two words, "Neder" and "land". "Neder" is an old word for Low. The word "land" requires no further explanation.

"Netherlands" thus literally translates to "Low Lands", and that's exactly what it is, as the biggest part of it is below or just above sea level.
