I'm no philologist, but I'll give it a shot with my amazing deductive capabilities. Since alanko is a lowland and maat is lands, one might argue that Alankomaat is something like The Lowlands. Sounds awful, but makes sense since a big portion of the Netherlands is below sea level.

Käännösapua means "help for translating".
