The history of the surname Aland, specifically of Irish descent, dates back to ancient times in Ireland. The name is believed to have its origins in the Gaelic language, with the original Gaelic form being Ó hAoláin.
The prefix Ó signified descendant of, while hAoláin is thought to derive from the word álainn, meaning beautiful or handsome. Thus, the name originally denoted a descendant of a person with a beautiful or handsome appearance.

The Aland surname can be found in various parts of Ireland, but it is particularly associated with the province of Ulster. Many bearers of this surname were likely descendants of the ancient Gaelic clans who resided in that region.
