Escutcheon of the Gyllenhaal family from 1652Gyllenhaal family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyllenhaal_family
Gyllenhaal is a Swedish noble family descended from the cavalry Lieutenant Nils Gunnarsson Haal (d. 1680 or 1681), ennobled in 1652 with a change of surname to Gyllenhaal.
Family history
Nils Gunnarsson Gyllenhaal's descendants today stem from two of his sons; Lars Gyllenhaal b. 1645 d. 1710, Lieutenant of the Vestgotha cavalry regiment, and his younger brother Hans Gyllenhaal b. 1655 d. 1710. Hans was killed in action at the battle of Helsingborg as a cavalry captain.
The members of the older branch descending from Lars are still living in Sweden. The most notable member of that branch is the above mentioned Prime Minister for Justice Lars Herman Gyllenhaal. In 1851 he was created Knight and Commander of the Royal Order of the Seraphim. His great-great grandson Herman Gyllenhaal till Haerlingstorp b. 1934, is now the baron of the family and his son, the above-mentioned Lars Gyllenhaal, is now the head of both branches of the noble family Gyllenhaal.
All the members of the family in the United States are descended from Hans Gyllenhaal and come from his great great-great grandson Anders Leonard b.1842 d. 1905 and his wife Amanda b. Nelson b.1859 d.1948. Anders Leonard Gyllenhaal immigrated to the United States in 1866. The hitherto most memorable member of this younger branch was Leonard Gyllenhaal (1752-1840). He was in 1807 created a Knight of the Royal Order of Vasa for his scientific work as an entomologist, including his monograph of Swedish insects, Insecta Suecia descripta.
Family name
The spelling of the name Gyllenhaal caused problems right from the beginning. Its origin is clear: Nils Gunnarsson Gyllenhaal's father was Gunne Olofsson Haal from Hahlegården, a crown homestead in South Härene Parish in the county of Västergötland in West Sweden. "Haal" comes from the name of the farm "Hahlegården", with different spelling. This confusion was mirrored in Nils' ennoblement: In the Knighthood Letter, signed by Queen Christina, the family name was written in two different ways — first "Gyllenhahl" and then "Gyllenhaal". On the copperplate with his coat of arms now hanging in the House of Nobles (Riddarhuset) in Stockholm it is spelled "Gyllenhahl".[7] The prefix "Gyllen", i.e. "Golden", was the one most used when ennobling someone since the 16th century.
Jake Gyllenhaal, great-great grandson of the above-mentioned Anders Leonard Gyllenhaal, joked to an interviewer, in connection with the British première of the movie Prince of Persia in May 2010, that his last name was pronounced "Yil-en-hoo-luh-hay", poking fun at people's difficulties with Swedish pronunciation.
