- Origins Available:
 England
The name Rande was spawned by the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture that ruled a majority of Britain. It comes from Randolph of which it is a short form. The surname Rande referred to the son of Randolph which belongs to the category of patronymic surnames. Early Origins of the Rande familyThe surname Rande was first found in Norfolk at Yelverton, a parish, in the union of Loddon and Clavering, hundred of Henstead. "The church [of Yelverton] is an ancient structure in the decorated and early English styles, with a square embattled tower, and contains several handsome monuments to the families of Rant, Playter and Day; and a Norman font. The sum of £27 per annum, arising from land purchased with a bequest by Mrs. Anne Rant in 1698, is divided between the rector and the poor, the latter of whom have also 4 acres that were allotted at the inclosure." 1 Early History of the Rande familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Rande research.

In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Randes to arrive on North American shores:
Rande Settlers in United States in the 17th Century- James Rande, who landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1623 2
Rande Settlers in United States in the 19th Century- William Rande, who arrived in Allegany (Allegheny) County, Pennsylvania in 1868 2
