Rolands Family History
This surname is patronymic, and so refers back to the given name of an ancestor.
The name itself is of early medieval English origin, and may derive from the Norman personal name Rolant, composed of the Germanic elements 'hrod, meaning renown, and 'land', meaning territory. This personal name was popular throughout Europe in the Middle Ages as a result of the fame of one of Charlemagne's warriors. The second potential origin derives from the name of places in Derbyshire and Sussex. Those place names derive from the Old Norse 'ra', meaning roebuck, and 'lundr', meaning wood or grove.
