Hollander

Person from Amsterdam

A Hollander is a person from Holland—that is, the Netherlands or, more precisely, the western coastal region comprising North and South Holland provinces.

The term appears in historical contexts and surnames more than contemporary speech, where Dutch has largely replaced it: The Hollanders who settled New Amsterdam brought their architecture with them.
