Gould is a surname that is sourced mainly to Ireland, Scotland, and England. 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. Gould is a variant of the surname "Gold" which is a very ancient name found in Scotland and England.
