The Netherlands is dropping the moniker Holland completely from tomorrow.

European correspondent Catherine Field says Holland only refers to two of the country's 12 provinces, and it wants people to think about the entire country.

She told Tim Dower it's trying to get rid of the name Dutch too.

"Dutch only refers to the language and ethnicity, not the country, so its people should instead be known as Netherlanders."

Holland is a region of the Netherlands, but the two names are often used interchangeably to describe the northern European country.
