Found this on the website below:
The surname Ireland originated in England from early Irish emigrants who were given the Norman name ‘de Irlande’ (from Ireland). This name became ‘Ireland’ and some descendants later returned to Ireland.
There was more information there. The site went into more detail that I have here. Hope this helps.

Often, if the immigration officer couldn't read the person's document they would give the surname of the country the person was emigrating from or make up something.
My grandmother's family name has many different spellings because the officers had no idea how to spell a Hungarian name, so they all got some phonetically spelled name and each one is different.

Ireland - fairly numerous: Antrim-Down, Meath etc. Ir. Ãrleont. Thought to derive from Irish who went to England and returned later as settlers.
