Answer Question

Answer 1

The last name Roldan is of Scottish origin and this has also been proved by the people who carry out research in the field. The name comes from Scotland and there are many variations of the name as well which include Rowlands, Rowland, Rolan and many others as well. To be specific, a family with this surname was first found to be living in Ayrshire according to the rolls taken by the early kings of Scotland. The name Roldan means ‘renowned land’.

Answer 2

I am a Roldan and the origin of the surname makes me confused. I already searched about,got to a conclusion,but for the first time I found it saying that has a Scotish origin. I found the web site that says that and I'm really thinking about buying more information about it. My Roldan is spanish...my family comes from Zaragoza,Spain. Didnt really find anything that says the origin of it...only infos that could be it,but not sure it is. For example, Rolands legend -> www.kingofswords.com (you can read about it a lil in this link) and as you can see it at the bottom part,Charlemange's troops were comming back from Zaragoza,which Roland(Roldan) was with them. So that would be the origin. Or my family being from Zaragoza and Roldan diying in Zaragoza can be coincidence.
Theres a detail that can be crucial or not in that matter : A mark on Roldan's surname. The spanish Roldan is written Roldán. The scotish Roldan has no mark. That can be only a variation or can really be the explanation for the confusion. Mine has no mark...so my confusion will remain...as it can be a coincidence or an writting mistake that came among the years.
