ACLAND, ACKLAND.
A local name meaning "of Acland." "From the situation of their
ancient seat in Lankey, near Barnstaple, co. Devon, which, being in the midst of
a large grove of oaks (in Saxon ac), obtained the name of Ac or
Oakland... They were settled in this place as early as the reign of Henry
II." (Lower, quoting Kimber's Baronetage.)
