Etymology edit
From Portuguese Holanda (“Holland”).[1][2][3][4] Note that some sources[1][3][4] give the erroneous Portuguese source spelling as Olanda (which is actually Italian), likely because the Portuguese h is silent. Compare Chinese 荷蘭/荷兰 (Hélán) of the same meaning.
Pronunciation edit
Proper noun edit
- Holland (a traditional region in the Netherlands formed by two modern provinces, North Holland and South Holland)

Usage notes edit
When used attributively in compounds or with the particle の (no), this term is commonly translated as the adjective Dutch.
The full kanji spellings as alternative forms are rare and falling out of use, while the abbreviation 蘭 is more frequently encountered.
