Rolandus Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A male name. Old German Hrodland, compound of hrothi ‘fame’ and landa ‘land’. As the name of the most famous of the peers of Charlemagne, Roland was a favourite in the Middle Ages and was introduced into England by the Normans (Rolland occurs in Domesday Book), the usual English form of the name being Rouland or Rowland. Rowland was, indeed, the usual spelling in the 17th and 18th C, and the modern Roland is a piece of archaizing.

Rolland Domesday Book 1086. Rolandus Curia Regis Rolls 1186-1220, Feudal Aids 1316, 1428. Rouland Testa de Neville, or Book of Fees, temp. Hen. III-Edw. I 13th C. Rowland Lincs 1529, Lyford 1655.
