The name Marland gained popularity during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries in England and other English-speaking countries. It has since become quite rare, with only a few individuals bearing this unique name today.
"The name Marland experienced its peak popularity between 1927 and 1934, with a significant spike in 1934 (56 births). However, it has since become quite rare, with fewer than 10 births recorded per year since 1980. In recent years, it's been especially uncommon, with only 5-9 births annually from 2001 to present."
