Where's my last name from?

Question

Out of curiosity, I'd like to know where my two last names, Keller and Tholander stem from. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Keller
German: from Middle High German kellaere ‘cellarman’, ‘cellar master’ (Latin cellarius, denoting the keeper of the cella ‘store chamber’, ‘pantry’). Hence an occupational name for the overseer of the stores, accounts, or household in general in, for example, a monastery or castle. Kellers were important as trusted stewards in a great household, and in some cases were promoted to ministerial rank. The surname is widespread throughout central Europe.
English: either an occupational name for a maker of caps or cauls, from Middle English kellere, or an occupational name for an executioner, from Old English cwellere.
Irish: reduced form of Kelleher.
Scottish: variant of Keillor


Toland
Last name origin & meaning:

Northern Irish: reduced form of O'Toland, an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Tuathaláin ‘descendant of Tuathalan’, a personal name formed from a pet form of Tuathal (see O’Toole).

(This was the closest I could come to THOLANDER. However, ancestry.com does say its places of origin are in Germany, Sweden, and Ireland.).
