The surname Garland has English and Irish origins. In English, it is derived from the Old French word garlande which means wreath or garland, and was likely used as a nickname for someone who made or wore garlands. In Irish, the surname Garland can be of Gaelic origin, derived from the Gaelic name Mac Gearailt, which means son of Gerald. The name Gerald itself is of Germanic origin, and was brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century.
On the other hand, the surname McGartland is of Irish origin and is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mag Fheartail. The Mag prefix signifies son of and Fheartail is derived from the Gaelic word fearthal which means manly.
Both surnames have a long history in Ireland, with the McGartland name likely originating in County Armagh. The Garland name also has a strong presence in Ireland, with the name being found in various counties across the country.
Overall, both surnames have deep roots in Irish history and are associated with the ancient Gaelic culture of the country.
