History & Origin

Grayland looks to an English topographic surname, 'the gray land,' one of many place-based family names that crossed into first-name use in the United States. It shares the strong, plain sound of surnames like Garland and Leland.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its quiet peak around 1956, and it has stayed rare. A boy named Grayland then is about seventy now.
