Kirkland Family History
Kirkland Name Meaning
English (now mainly East Midlands) and Scottish: topographic name
for someone who lived on land belonging to the Church, from northern
Middle English kirk ‘church’ + land ‘land’. There are
several villages named with these elements, for example in Cumbria,
and in some cases the surname will have arisen from
these. Exceptionally, Kirkland in Lancashire has as its second element
Old Norse lundr ‘grove’.
