About the Marslande Surname

Whether you spell it Marslande or Marsland, the story begins in the same place. The name is usually explained as “marsh land”. The extra “e” in Marslande is a spelling habit rather than a different name. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. You may also find the name written Marslan.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Marslande, so the heraldry linked to Marsland is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Marslande report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
