The Dutch (Dutch: Nederlanders (helpÂ·info)), occasionally referred to as Netherlandersâa term that is cognate to the Dutch word for Dutch people, Nederlandersâare a Germanic ethnic group native to the Netherlands. They share a common culture and speak the Dutch language. Dutch people and their descendants are found in migrant communities worldwide, notably in Aruba, Suriname, Guyana, CuraÃ§ao, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States.
But did you notice how I called people from the Netherlands Hollanders? Holland used to be what English speakers normally called the Netherlands. Holland is actually just part of the Netherlands, one that lies along most of the coast and includes the country's three largest cities. So the Dutch people that English traders met were typically from Holland, which is how the name came to be generally used.
