Often a person who lives in a country or region ending in -and can be named -ander, as in Lapland- Laplander, Holland- Hollander, Iceland - Icelander. But that name tells us nothing about the etnicity or nationality of the person. So a native inhabitant of Lapland will probably be a Finn, Swede or Suomi, a guy from Holland (a region of Netherlands) will call himself a Dutch.
Nationality names have usually old origins, they came from tribes living in the region for a time before modern countries arised.
How do you vote?
No. You cannot call them Holes. Hahaha! It wouldn't sound well. I am sure that even if their ancestors made that mistake snd calked themselves Holes, the modern Poles would have changed the name soon as they realised the meaning.

No and it doesn't mean that if the country is called pole then the pipo in the country should be named holes that's an insult and i think they should be called any names which are used in their country.
