The surname Rowland has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to the Gaelic name "Mac Ruaidhri" which means "son of Roderick." The name Roderick itself is derived from the Old Norse name "Hroderich," meaning "famous ruler."
During the medieval period, the name Mac Ruaidhri was anglicized to MacRory or MacRuaridh, and eventually evolved into the surname Rowland. The prefix "Mac" indicates that the individual was the son of a person named Ruaidhri or Roderick.
The Rowland surname is associated with the western provinces of Ireland, particularly Connacht and Ulster. The name was commonly found in counties such as Mayo, Roscommon, and Donegal.
Many individuals with the surname Rowland emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly during the Great Famine in the mid-19th century. They settled in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, contributing to the Irish diaspora.
Today, descendants of Irish immigrants with the surname Rowland can be found throughout the world. The name has various spellings and variations, including Roland, Rolan, and Ryland.
