Gyllenhaal family
Gyllenhaal is the surname of a Swedish noble family descended from cavalry Lieutenant Nils Gunnarsson Haal (died 1680 or 1681), ennobled in 1652 with a change of surname to "Gyllenhaal".〔(Entry for the Gyllenhaal family ) in the ''Nordisk Familjebok'' (in Swedish)〕〔(Article on members of the Gyllenhaal family ) in the ''Svenskt biografiskt handlexikon'' ("Swedish Biographical Lexicon") (in Swedish)〕
== Family name ==
The name "Gyllenhaal" originated from Nils Gunnarsson Gyllenhaal's father Gunne Olofsson Haal, who was 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 estate "Hahlegården". 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 Nobility (''Riddarhuset'') in Stockholm it is spelled "Gyllenhahl".〔(The Gyllenhaal Family Tree Project )〕 Such ambiguities are typical of the time; it would be several generations before Swedish spelling was more strictly regulated. The prefix ''Gyllen'' ("Golden") was the one most used when ennobling someone since the 16th century.〔Similarly for the naming of the former head of car manufacturer Volvo Pehr Gustaf Gyllenhammar and Sofia Johansdotter Gyllenhielm De la Gardie.〕
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal, great-great grandson of the above-mentioned Anders Leonard Gyllenhaal, quipped during an interview prior to the British premiere of ''Prince of Persia'' that his last name was pronounced "Yil-en-hoo-luh-hay", parodying Americans' difficulties with Swedish pronunciation.〔In Danish, a double "aa" as in Gyllenhaal has for centuries normally been pronounced with an "o" sound as in English "for". In older Swedish, however, it was pronounced with a long "a" as in the English word "far"; the double "aa", as with the "ah" in the alternative "Gyllenhahl" (see above) only indicates a long vowel "a". The "o" sound corresponding to Danish "aa" was normally rendered by "å" ("åå", "åh").〕〔The second problem for English-speakers is how to pronounce the prefix "Gyllen", i.e. Golden. The USA branch of the family's solution is to pronounce it "Jill-EN-hall", but in Sweden "Gy" is pronounced as "Y" followed by a close front rounded vowel, similar to the German vowel "ü".〕
