Rolland peaked in 1928, when 264 babies got the name.
At least 9,873 babies have been given the name since 1880. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Rolland by decade

Where Rolland is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Rolland has been most common in Nebraska (8.9×), Minnesota (4.8×), and Iowa (4.5×), and least common in Texas (0.12×).
5,801 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
