Where this word comes from
From Middle Dutch Hollant, from Old Dutch *Holtland (sometimes found in Latin texts), from holt (“wood”) + lant (“land”). A popular but false etymology holds that it is derived from hol land (“hollow land”), inspired by the low-lying geography of the Dutch region. Doublet of Blanda.
