The Garland surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

GARLAND. A local surname, but I cannot find the place. John de Garlande, author of the Dictionarius, flourished in the XII. and XIII. cent. Though a professor at Paris, he was an Englishman by birth. See Wright's Vocab. p. 1 20. Gerland, the first mathematical writer in England after the Conquest, was living in 1086, but whether he was of English birtli is uncertain. Garlond, Garland, and Gerlaundes occur in the H. R., without prefix.
