This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'at the rowan,' from residence beside a rowan-tree; compare Ash and Nash, Oak and Oakes, Birch, &c. The excrescent 'd' is natural; compare Simmonds and Hammond, and also ribbon and riband. Thus we find Rowntree entered:
Christopher Roundtree, 1687: St. James, Clerkenwell.
There may be a second derivation, but I have not hit upon it, supposing it exists.
1626. Baptised — Dorothy, d. William Round: St. James, Clerkenwell.
1799. Married — Thomas Round and Mary Wallis: St. George, Hanover Square.

1805. — Charles Maclaren and Sarah Rowan: St. George, Hanover Square.

Thomas de Rolland (de most probably an error) was common councillor of Aberdeen, 1439 (Guildry, p. 186). Agnes Rowan was tenant under the bishop of Glasgow, 1511 (Rental), and William Rowan in Aberdeen, 1513 (CRA., p. 83), appears in 1509 as Rolland and Rowand (RAA., II, p. 383). Thomas Rowand was witness in Glasgow, 1550 (Protocols, I). Edward Rowane appears in Stirling, 1525 (SBR., p. 25), the daughter of Nicol Rowan had sasine, 1573 (Pitfirrarte, 181), John Rowane was servitor to Robert Pont of Trinity College, Edinburgh, 1575 (Soltre, p. 137), and James Rowane was burgess freeman of Glasgow, 1595 (Burgesses). John Rowand (alias Long John) was portioner of Meiklegovan, 1692 (Retours, Lanark, 407). The wife of Dr. William Guild (early seventeenth century) was Catharine Rolland or Rowen (SN&Q., II, p. 139), Bethia Rouand was heir of Andrew Rouand, portioner of Meikle Govan, 1697 (Retours, Renfrew, 214), John Rowand is at Broomloan, 1709 (Minnies, p. 54), and Mr. John Rouan was minister at Parton, 1750 (Kirkcudbright).

In some places, the open space anciently used for the inhuman sport of bull-baiting is still called ' the Round;' and residence near such a spot would originate the surname.
