Lost Highway. The foolish plan to sell American toll roads to foreign companies. If a governor told you there were a way to spread pork, raise funds for infrastructure investment, promote jobs, avoid raising taxes, and put a dent in the trade deficitâall in one fell swoopâyou might think he had a bridge to sell you. And you'd be right.
The name Dutch is of German origin. The meaning of Dutch is of the netherlands. Dutch is generally used as a boy's name. It consists of 5 letters and 2 syllables and is pronounced Du-tch.
Why are the people in the Netherlands called 'Dutch'? Dutch stems from the Germanic term 'duutsch' - which referred to the Germanic people. The Germanic people were all the people speaking Germanic languages - now Dutch, German, Friesisch and various dialects in the region. The 'Pensylvania Dutch' is a term that derives from the old meaning - these are people who emigrated from what's now the Netherlands and Germany to what's now the USA. Currently the term 'Dutch' is used in English both for the people of The Netherlands, and the language they speak. Both are called 'Nederland's' in Dutch.
