Ormond (surname)
Ormond or Ormand is an old surname, originated in Ireland and Scotland, but also occurring nowadays in Portugal (mainly Azores), Brazil, England, Wales, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The Irish surname derives from the Irish toponym ''Oirmhumhain'' 'East Munster' and was a hereditary title within the Irish aristocracy. See Earl of Ormonde (Irish). However, the Scottish Ormonds originate from the county of Angus, where the Douglas family held the title of Earl of Ormond, deriving from their ownership of Ormond Castle in Avoch, on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands. The Ormond surname is rumoured to have been taken up by an illegitimate son of the Earl in the 15th or 16th century.

Ormonde (Cazenovia, New York)
Ormonde (1885–88) is a Shingle Style country house built on the eastern shore of Cazenovia Lake in Cazenovia, New York. It was designed by architect Frank Furness for George R. Preston, a New Orleans banker who settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 9-bedroom "summer cottage" was originally the centerpiece of a 300-acre (121.4 ha) estate, that was expanded to 400 acres (161.8 ha) early in the 20th century. The carriagehouse and other buildings have since been demolished, and the land subdivided, leaving the main house and boathouse on 2.4 acres (1 ha). The boathouse's design is unusual: a square stone ground floor at lake's edge supporting a circular shingled second floor, ringed by a 360-degree deck. It relates to Furness's Undine Barge Club (1882–83) on Philadelphia's Boathouse Row, and the architect's own summer cottage, Idlewild (c. 1890), in Media, Pennsylvania. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. In addition to the main ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Several of the earls also had reputations as scholars. The fifth earl was created Earl of Wiltshire (1449) in the Peerage of England, but he was attainted in 1461 and his peerages were declared forfeit.
