Etymology
From Portuguese Holanda (“Holland”).[1][2][3][4] Note that some sources[1][3][4] give the erroneous Portuguese source spelling as Olanda (which is actually Italian), likely because the Portuguese h is silent. Compare Chinese 荷蘭／荷兰 (Hélán) of the same meaning.
Proper noun
オランダ • (Oranda)
- Holland (a traditional region in the Netherlands formed by two modern provinces, North Holland and South Holland)
- Holland, the Netherlands (a country in Western Europe)

- 待てよ！これは本当にオランダの船か？船についてる旗 あれはオランダの国旗じゃないぞ‼
- Mate yo! Kore wa hontō ni Oranda no fune ka? Fune ni tsuite ru hata are wa Oranda no kokki ja nai zo‼
- Hold on! Is this really a Dutch ship? The flag on this ship isn’t the Dutch flag, is it!?
- 待てよ！これは本当にオランダの船か？船についてる旗 あれはオランダの国旗じゃないぞ‼
Usage notes
When used attributively in compounds or with the particle の (no), this term is commonly translated as the adjective Dutch.
The full kanji spellings as alternative forms are rare and falling out of use, while the abbreviation 蘭 is more frequently encountered.
