Family Name / Last Name: Garand
No. of characters: 6
Origin: Canada
Meaning: The name, quite common, worn especially in the Indre-et-Loire (also 76, 43). Alternative: Garant (87, 63), Garrand, Garrant. The legal meaning of 'guarantor', proposed by Dauzat, does not seem very satisfactory for a name as common and having spawned several diminutives: Garandeau, Garrandeau (85, 79, 17) Garandel (22, 44, 76) Garandet (63) Garanton (44). There's a good chance that this is a person of Germanic origin name formed on the root wara (= protection). Note also the regional Garande term (= warren), which may explain some of diminutives.
