According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, 'Holland' can be another name for the Netherlands, or a former province of the Netherlands, comprising the coastal parts of the country. It is now divided into North Holland and South Holland. I would say it's a colloquial term, not necessarily accurate.

Many people call the entirety of the UK "England" (Most if not all, people I know do this, otherwise we have to say "het verenigd koninkrijk" or "Groot-Brittanië" (uk or even vk doesn't work) but partially of course (perhaps even mainly??) because people don't know the difference, but it is almost convention to call it england) But this definitely does not make it correct (officially or unofficially).

Atleast England is a clear part of the UK, 'Holland' at most is a general region, but not really, there is only North-Holland and South-Holland, but they are never called Holland (no Dutch person would use Holland when referring to (something in) Noord-holland or Zuid-Holland).

There used to be a county Holland, which is roughly in the area of the aforementioned provinces, but only roughly. But it ceased to exist several centuries ago ( I believe 1795).

Holland is the main area of the Netherlands, however there’s like 9 other provinces containing like 24 people so it’s not correct.

And yet we don't translate Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Ecuador, San Marino, Sierra Leone, etc. Heck, "Timor" isn't English either; it's a variety of the Malay word for "east." Why not just translate it the whole way and call it "East East"?
