Where did the English Niland family come from? What is the English Niland family crest and coat of arms? When did the Niland family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Niland family history? There are several places named Newland in Britain. It is unclear whether the Niland surname was derived from a place name, or whether it was taken on by someone lived on some land only recently cultivated.Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Niland were recorded, including Newland, Newling, Newley, Nieland, Newlan and others. First found in Devon where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Le Nom, les armes, la loyauté Motto Translation: The Name, the arms, the loyalty.
