The surname Bland has a rich history, particularly within Irish descent. The name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and was first found in the county of Westmorland in England. The name is derived from the Old English word bland which means mild or gentle, and was likely used as a nickname for someone with a gentle or amiable personality.
Bland was brought to Ireland by English settlers during the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly during the Plantation of Ulster. Many English and Scottish families, including those with the surname Bland, were granted land in Ireland by the English crown, and they played a significant role in the colonization and development of the country.
Over time, the Bland surname became established in various parts of Ireland, and many families of this name became prominent in Irish society. The Blands were known for their involvement in politics, business, and the military, and they often held positions of power and influence.
Today, the Bland surname is still found throughout Ireland, and many people with this name can trace their roots back to the English and Scottish settlers who arrived in the country centuries ago. The Bland family history in Ireland is a testament to the enduring legacy of the English and Scottish influence on Irish culture and society.
