Pronunciation

  • /ˈhɑlənd/ (General-American)
  • (Southern-England) audio
  • /ˈhɒlənd/ (Received-Pronunciation)
  • hŏlʹənd (General-American)

Etymology

Most commonly derived from Old English hoh land (“spur land”). However, on the basis of the topographical inappropriateness of this name and early forms, Coates and Breeze (2000) argued that the first element is a Proto-Brythonic haiw- (“marsh, swamp”).

Meanings

  1. A geographic area, one of the three traditional divisions of the county of Lincolnshire, England; also called the Parts of Holland.
  2. An English habitational surname from Middle English for someone from any of the various places in England named Holland.
