Meaning & History

Dutch and West Frisian contracted form of Edelland, which is a variant form of ADELLAND. Also compare ALAND.

It might also be interesting to know that eland is also a word in Dutch, with the meaning of "elk, moose".

Lastly, as a Dutch name, this name is strictly masculine, but as a West Frisian name, it is unisex.
