The Arland Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Arland name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Arland name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Arlands), by time period (18th Century Arlands), or by topic (Arland DNA, Arland Occupations, Arland Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Arland as a boys' name is of Gaelic derivation, and the meaning of the name Arland is "pledge, oath". Arland is an alternate form of Arlen (Gaelic).

Many English families who had become tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. The trip itself offered no relief, and the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped. Many travellers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, however these immigrants believed the opportunities were worth the risks.
Once in the colonies, many of the families did prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. It is believed a number of American immigrant families bearing the name Arland survive today.
