About Holland
Holland is one of the coolest geographical names, unadorned and elegant, evocative of fine Rembrandt portraits and fields of pink and yellow tulips. It first entered the US Top 1000 for girls in 2014, but fell out of the Top 1000 for boys a century earlier.
Holland for girls#550 US
Holland Taylor is the Emmy award-winning actress most recognized for her work on Two and a Half Men; she wrote and appeared in a one-woman play on Broadway.
Holland, like most place names, is theoretically gender-neutral, but it's one of those names that has reversed its gender identity, going from all-male a century ago to nearly equal in 1980 to about 85 percent female today, with five baby girls named Holland for every boy.
Holland for boys#1367 US
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.
Pronounced HAHL-and.
As of October 2026, Holland ranked #550 in US births in 2025 SSA, Nameberry popularity #568.
