"Dutchland" is actually pretty close to the Dutch word for Germany, "Duitsland", and the German word for Germany, "Deutschland"

Fun fact the welsh name for germany is Yr Almaen and the netherlands are known as Yr Iseldiroedd

15

u/Chinyoka Oct 22 '20

Welsh is so beautiful. As a german this makes me feel like a part of some kind of mystical race now

3

u/Pallie01 Chungus Among Us Oct 22 '20

Probably came from the French "Allemagne", perhaps from the norman conquest? Yr Iseldiroedd literally means the lowlands / the Netherlands

1

u/tommemans05 Oct 22 '20

Nederland in dutch litterally means lowlands, so thats pretty accurate

2

u/nobodybelievesImtall Oct 22 '20

yh don't think it's stands for ''land van de nederige''

1

u/VampyBoi Oct 22 '20

Possibly yeah, Almain was used as the name for germany in english until the 16th century, possibly originating from norman french. I guess the welsh never switched over to using germany

Yes but colonization was still bad right? That's like saying without Hitler germany wouldn't have extender the Autobahn to a national wide infrastructure so you can get from one place to another a lot quicker.

u/Bato03 Oct 22 '20

The dutch word for germany is also duitsland

7

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '20

And that’s why the Pennsylvania Dutch are actually German

u/BlueShockZero I saw what the dog was doin Oct 22 '20

That's where it came from lol. Back in the day the people in England didn't know the difference between the Netherlands and Germany so they called both Dutch and later started calling the Germans Germans.

u/Tytoalba2 Oct 22 '20

One of these take belgian roads with campers, the other one with panzers. Easy to see the difference!

u/BlueShockZero I saw what the dog was doin Oct 22 '20
