I'm pretty sure they are it's just pronounced different in Arabic.
Because Holland isn't a country, so we just call them Dutch instead. A better question would be why do we call them the German word for German when they aren't Germans. The answer is that they sounded a lot like Germans when they immigrated to the America's, and we thought it was a funny insult. They call themselves "Lowlanders" (Netherlanders).

Because they called themselves "deutsch"?
They don't though. Only English speakers call them Dutch, they do not call themselves that. That was my whole point - "Dutch" is the German word for German. It was a misunderstanding/insult that lead to the modern English term of "Dutch".
Wtf are Holland people called? Hollish? Hollacks?
Hollanders.
Thanks. I know I could have searched it up, but it's more fun to engage with people sometimes.

Damned right! I think if we called people from Holland "Holes" then we'd have to come up with a new word for females.
Hollanders... New Yorker is to American as Hollander is to Dutch.

The correct word is Polack and Holland is a region of the Netherlands.
