Holland new name
You're referring to the country!
The Netherlands, commonly known as Holland, has been considering changing its official name to something more inclusive and accurate. Here are a few options that have been proposed:
- The Netherlands: This is the country's official name, which is already widely used.
- Holland: This name is often used informally, but it's not entirely accurate, as it only refers to two of the country's twelve provinces (North Holland and South Holland).
- The Low Countries: This name refers to the historical region that includes the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
- The Kingdom of the Netherlands: This name reflects the country's constitutional monarchy and its status as a kingdom.
- The Dutch Kingdom: This name is similar to the previous one, but it's more concise and focuses on the country's Dutch identity.
In 2019, the Dutch government announced that it would start using the name "The Netherlands" more frequently, both domestically and internationally, to emphasize the country's unity and diversity. However, it's unlikely that the country's name will change officially anytime soon, as it would require a constitutional amendment.
