Random question, why are Holland called "The Dutch"?

There's really not much to make of Nederland / the Netherlands.

Holland is only a part of the country, comparable to England and the United Kingdom.

Dutch may come from Diets, which has a common ancestor with Deutsch. Had things gone different in the middle ages we might be part of Germany.
