The surname Boland, or its variant O'Boland, has a rich history that can be traced back to Irish origins. The name itself is derived from the Gaelic word "Ó Beolláin," which translates to "descendant of Beollán," a personal name meaning "little bee."

The Bolands were originally a prominent sept (clan) in County Donegal, Ireland. They were part of the larger Cenél Conaill, which was one of the powerful Northern Uí Néill dynasties. The O'Bolands held significant influence in the region and were known for their leadership and warrior skills.

Over time, members of the Boland clan migrated to other parts of Ireland, particularly to counties like Mayo, Galway, and Roscommon. They often served as loyal soldiers, chieftains, and landholders in these areas. The O'Bolands were involved in various historical conflicts, including the struggles against English colonization.

During the period of English colonization and cultural suppression in Ireland, the use of Gaelic names and titles was discouraged. Many Irish families, including the Bolands, anglicized their surnames to conform to English naming conventions. As a result, the prefix "O" was often dropped, and the surname became simply "Boland."

Today, the surname Boland, or O'Boland, remains common among people of Irish descent, both in Ireland and in the Irish diaspora. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and ancestral roots of those who bear the name.
