It would be very logical if your name was "beer" whick means "bear"
I dont know people with the name "Bier" When the French introduced the last names in our country "Bier" was not a commom used word.
The name Holland derives from two powerfull regions in The Netherlands (you might see them as states that used to be independent). Because of their power it has been used for a long time as to classify Holland and neigbouring states.
The Netherlands can be seen as "the united stated from the low countries". Belgium used to be included in this as well. Together with overseas parts like Aruba, Bonaire and the other caribean islands it is called "The kingdom of the Netherlands"
