- Rankilor is the family name of a British family whose origins were Scottish. It is thought that they are a family in the Clan Bruce, and are descendants of the one-time King of Scotland, Robert the Bruce. The name Rankilor is one spelling of the original family group. Others include Rankeillour, Rankeillor, and Rankeilour. There are farms in Fife, Scotland, called Rankeilour Mains and Over Rankeilour and there is a Rankeillor Street in Edinburgh. There is also a Mr. Rankeillor in Robert Louis Stevenson's book "Kidnapped". One part of the family settled in the Birmingham area, and one member was the founding Secretary of the National Union of Teachers. Another part of the family settled in Guernsey in the 19th century, where in addition to school teaching, they owned the Rankilor Shipyard in Saint Sampson, making boats and schooners. This line goes way back and it is not possible to take the line further because all the older records before 1550 were totally destroyed by fire. The family split into three main groups, one remained in Scotland, one moved to the York area, one moved to Guernsey. A large group of the family migrated to Australia in the mid-19th century and there are more there than in Great Britain now.
