Falkland is a village, parish, and former royal burgh in Fife, Scotland, at the foot of the Lomond Hills. According to the 2022 census it has a population of 1,041. The earliest forms of this name include Falleland and Falecklen. The second element is the Scottish Gaelic lann or possibly its Pictish cognate, but the exact etymology is unclear. The first element could be the Gaelic falach, failc, or falc. The later folk etymologies of "falcon land" and "folkland" are not plausible.
