Help[Surname] Re: Roland, Gosnell?
in reply to a message by Alyia
I found this on ancestry.com -
Gosnell: Originally Irish, from an Irish adaptation (Góiséir) of English Hosier, the name of a family in Munster in the late 16th century.
Roland: from a Germanic personal name composed hrod ‘renown’ + -nand ‘bold’, assimilated to -lant ‘land’. Compare Rowland.
