The surname Sandilands has ancient origins and is of Scottish and English descent. However, there is also evidence of Sandilands being of Irish descent.
The etymology of the name Sandilands suggests that it originated from the Old Norse personal name "Sandulf," meaning "sandy wolf." Over time, this name evolved into various forms, including Sanderland, Sandland, and eventually Sandilands.
In terms of its Irish connection, the surname Sandilands may have been introduced to Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. The Normans, who were of Viking origin, brought their own surnames and naming practices to Ireland.
Throughout history, the Sandilands name has been associated with various notable figures. In Ireland, for example, Robert de Sandiland was recorded in County Limerick in 1293. Additionally, Sir James Sandilands, a Scottish knight, played a significant role in the Scottish Reformation during the 16th century.
As with many surnames, the dispersion of the Sandilands name can be attributed to the migrations of people over time. Some members of the Sandilands family may have migrated from Scotland or England to Ireland, and vice versa, leading to the presence of the surname in various regions.
Today, individuals with the surname Sandilands, particularly those of Irish descent, can trace their family history back to the Norman invasion or further back to the Viking origins of the name.
