IJ (Amsterdam) The IJ (pronounced ] ; sometimes shown on old maps as "Y" or "Ye") is a body of water, formerly a bay, in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is known for being Amsterdam's waterfront. Its name is an obsolete Dutch word meaning "water", derived from the West Frisian word "ie" "stream, small river" (from Germanic *"ahwō", "water") and is cognate with Dutch Aa/Ee names for bodies of water. The name consists of the digraph "ij", which behaves like a single letter. Therefore, both letters are capitalized; cf. IJmuiden.
