Why is the Andalusian typical song and dance called "Flamenco", if the region of Flanders is located all the way in Belgium? Does it have anything to do with the historic period of the Spanish Netherlands?

Pretty much everywhere didn't like Romani. Even the label Gypsy that was used for decades was a pejorative.

It's only in the last couple decades they've been able to get the rest of us to call them Romani instead.
