Holland Origin and Meaning
The name Holland is a boy's name of Dutch origin meaning "wooded land".
Holland, like most place names, is intrinsically gender neutral, but in practice today it's mostly female. There's about one boy Holland born in the US these days for every five girl Hollands. That's a reversal of the last century, when Holland peaked as a boys' name in 1893, falling off the Top 1000 completely in 1913.
A hundred years later, Holland entered the Top 1000 for girls, now ranking in the top 600 for baby girls in the US. Last year, about 500 baby girls were named Holland in the US versus only a little more than 100 baby boys.
