Where did the English Ryland family come from? What is the English Ryland family crest and coat of arms? When did the Ryland family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Ryland family history? Ryland is a name whose history on English soil dates back to the wave of migration that followed the Norman Conquest of England of 1066. The Ryland family lived in Lincolnshire. This name is a topographical reference to land owned by the Rye family in this county. Rye is also topographical and indicates that the original bearer of the name lived near to a field of rye, and was distinguished by this proximity.A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Ryland, Roylance, Rylander, Rilands, Rylands and others. First found in Lincolnshire where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
