Because Queen Wilhelmina had no surviving son, her own daughter assumed that capacity -- and eventually succeeded as Queen Juliana: one could argue that the house name rightfully remained Orange, for that reason -- despite the fact that the second female sovereign in the country was technically a member of the German grand ducal house of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (her father, Prince Hendrik, had been born Duke Heinrich).
The succession law has since been amended twice (to male-preference primogeniture in 1923 and fully cognatic primogeniture in 1983). So despite inheritance by females, the dynasty name has no reason to change.
In Luxembourg, succession was bound by the Nassau Family Pact -- as established by a treaty at the 1815 Congress of Vienna. Accordingly, the grand ducal throne would pass in the male line only until extinction: this was the house law of the Nassau dynasty. As it was, priority was given to the junior branch, Orange-Nassau (which was the House of Orange in the Netherlands). Although King Willem III tried to abrogate the Pact, so as to allow his daughter to succeed as the reigning grand duchess (with Luxembourg seeming to be willing to go along with this), his second wife, Queen Emma (Wilhelmina's mother) dissuaded him -- urging him to abide by the Pact.
This move enabled her half-uncle, Duke Adolf of Nassau-Weilburg, to become a reigning monarch again (he had lost the German throne for backing the wrong horse during the 1866 Austro-Prussian War). His branch of the Nassaus was actually the senior one, agnatically: however it, too, eventually became extinct in the male line -- dynastically. For there was still a morganatic branch surviving, known as the Merenborgs (descended from Adolf's half-brother).
So to secure the throne for his own six daughters, Grand Duke Guillaume IV contrived to have Luxembourg's parliament pass the 1907 Family Statute, which effectively ended the 1783 Family Pact. This meant that succession was no longer bound by it -- and instead, was bound by the sovereigns, who would be given the power to change the terms (albeit subject to approval by Parliament).
He wanted to make sure that the Merenborgs were excluded, despite the fact that his eldest daughter (Marie Adelaide) was the likely heiress, anyway -- even when determining the succession in accordance with the Nassau house laws. The marriage of Prince Nikolaos was clearly morganatic, as it did not receive the requisite consent of the head of the house of Nassau-Weilburg. Still, he couldn't be entirely sure ...
That the 1907 Statute abrogated the Pact is clear in that Guillaume IV changed the terms of succession so as to make his daughters all into equal agnates -- which is not how semi-Salicism (the Nassau house law) works. But he had authorized future sovereigns to make changes; so perhaps it didn't matter.
After all, the present sovereign, Grand Duke Henri, initiated another change of law -- according to which Luxembourg (like her fellow Benelux dynasties) would now operate under fully cognatic primogeniture.
This was not the first change to the terms of succession, to be sure: after all, his father (Grand Duke Jean) had approved in 1967 the marriage of his only brother (Prince Charles) to the American commoner Joan Dillon.
The House of Orange reigns over the Netherlands and has from the inception of the kingdom. The reign in England and Scotland was during the tenure of William III and Mary II. After their deaths the Stuarts assume the throne as there were no Orange heirs. The House of Orange "lost" part of their kingdom where Flanders became Belgium and a monarch from another dynasty was elected king. The House of Orange also were rulers of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Their tenure there ended about the time that Queen Wilhelmina succeeded her father as monarch. What was the official reason for the dynasties to change in Luxembourg? Several years later women served as monarchs within the Grand Duchy.
