Actually the reason why the country is typically referred to as Holland is not because of that's where all the tourists go. The real reason is that centuries ago Holland was the most wealthy and important province, and all rich people lived there. So when these people started to travel the world on their boats, all of them they would say 'I'm from Holland', so the country became known as Holland.

We just call ourselves and our language 'Nederlands', so it's really just the English that made everything so confusing.

In the netherlands we call ourselves “nederlanders”

In Portuguese, everyone calls it Holland, but the official name is “Países Baixos” which means “Lower Countries”

in het nederlands heten wij gewoon nederlanders

fun fact about holt -> hout.
In Dutch we dropped the in olt or old we lost the l and often turned the o into an ou in general. You can still see this in English because the change happened after Anglofrisian and Dutch split.
Old -> Oud
Holt -> Hout
Hold -> Houd
Bolt -> Bout
Gold -> Goud
Cold -> Koud
These words all mean the same, maybe with some nuance differences, or some extended meanings (bout can also mean 'leg', while bolt can be used in lightning bolt).

3:02 It's "SAKSA" and it stems from the region called "Sachsen" in Germany.
Kind of like Holland->The Netherlands

Flooding isnt actually a real problem at all, due to all the amazing waterworks we invented. One of our provinces was entirely claimed from the sea in fact. We are the masters of the sea, in fact so much so that dutch civil engineering companies are hired across the globe to solve flooding issues, like Jakarta and Venice to name a few

Two of the more EASTERN provinces North Holland and South Holland?

Western provinces would be correct.

The fact that the name is 'Holland' is still used as the name of the entire country of the Netherlands, has to do with the Dutch golden age of the 17th century.

The Republic of the Seven United Provinces of The Netherlands, also known as The Dutch Republic, was loosely collection of 7 provinces. Including Duchy of Guelders (Gelderland), County of Zeeland, Lordship of Utrecht, Lordship of Overijssel, Lordship of Frisia (Friesland), Lordship of Groningen and ... County of HOLLAND (roughly the provinces of North- and South-Holland nowadays combined)

The people in those days were more attached to their province than to the Republic.
The most powerful province was, of course, Holland, because of it's large merchant fleet. When those ships went abroad and people asked: "Where you from?" Their response will likely be "I am from Holland."

So that name stuck in a lot of languages around the world, and nowadays often mean the entire country of The Netherlands.

Bytheway: Lot of Dutch people now, will still refer to our neighbor in the west, across the North Sea, as 'England', but actually meaning 'Great Britain' or the 'United Kingdom'.

England was, of course, our biggest economic rival in the 17th century and Great Britain, nor the UK didn't exist yet in those days.

Bonus: Why do Dutch people yell at sporting events "Hup Holland hup!" (meaning: "Go Holland Go!")? Well, even in Dutch 'Nederland' is a difficult word to say fast or to singalong in a song. Also, a difficult word to rhyme and to make a compelling song about. 'Holland' on the other hand rolls off the tongue and so easier to put into a song. :D
