Etymology

Holland Road and Holland Village were named after an early resident in Singapore, Hugh Holland, who was an architect. The roads Holland Avenue, Holland Close and Holland Drive were named as such in 1972. Holland Road is known as hue hng au in Hokkien, meaning "behind the flower garden". The "flower garden" refers to the Botanic Gardens.
