    Yes, it literally means “lowlands”, but that’s its actual name used by the people from that country in the primary language of the people from that country.

    Holland is just a region in the Netherlands (today the provinces of Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland collectively), but people refer to the entire country as “Holland” sometimes.
