______________________

Gould (pronounced [gu:ld]%29 is a surname that is sourced mainly to Scotland, England, and Ireland. It is possibly linked to the Celts, Normans, or Vikings, but more likely is Anglo-Saxon in origin. Many families that share the Gould surname today had their names evolve or become "Anglicized" over time as their original names would have been strange or misunderstood due to accents and language barriers, especially in the United States and Canada.[1] Gould is a variant of the surname "Gold" which is a very ancient name found in Scotland and England.[2]

There are Three origins for this Surname: France, Jewish, English

Spelling variations include: Gould, Goold, Gold, Gilder and others.

English: First found in Suffolk where they held a family seat from early times. Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Edward Gould, a pailmaker, sailed in the "Elizabeth" in 1635 from London and landed in Boston. In the same year John Gould sailed aboard the ship "Defence" that left from Northampton and arrived at Charlestown Massachusetts.
