Why are the people in the Netherlands called 'Dutch'? Dutch stems from the Germanic term 'duutsch' - which referred to the Germanic people. The Germanic people were all the people speaking Germanic languages - now Dutch, German, Friesisch and various dialects in the region. The 'Pensylvania Dutch' is a term that derives from the old meaning - these are people who emigrated from what's now the Netherlands and Germany to what's now the USA. Currently the term 'Dutch' is used in English both for the people of The Netherlands, and the language they speak. Both are called 'Nederland's' in Dutch.
