Yes, it literally means “lowlands”, but that’s it’s actual name used by the people from that country in the primary language of the people from that country.
Holland is just a city in the Netherlands, but people refer to the entire country as “Holland” sometimes.

But we call it Holland, even though Holland is just one portion of the whole country.

Please, let me live in a world where Americans call it Netherlands.
-An American who thinks calling it Holland is dumb.
