= Pelan Surname =

Pelan, is a very rare surname with two, or possibly more, independent origins. The name has also been lent to subjects directly or indirectly associated with individuals bearing that surname.

In Ireland, Pelan is thought to be a variant or corruption of the common surname Phelan and is found largely in Northern Ireland, and historically in County Down and County Antrim. There are also theories that it is of Huguenot origin and/or possibly related to the Breton surname Pellan [http://www.geneaguide.com/onomastique/onomastique-pellan.htm] .

Pelan is also a mutation of the Czech / Slovakian surname Pélan and can be found in the US.
