The surname Stallard originated in England during the late medieval period. It is derived from the Old English words "steall" meaning a stable or stall, and "herd" meaning a keeper or guardian. Thus, Stallard referred to someone who was a stable keeper or worked with horses in some capacity.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273, where a William Stalard is listed as residing in Oxfordshire. The name also appears in various forms such as Stallard, Stalard, and Staylard in other historical records from the 13th and 14th centuries.

In the Subsidy Rolls of 1327, a John Stalard is mentioned as living in the village of Weston, Somerset. This suggests that the name had spread to different parts of England by this time.

The Stallard surname is also found in the Feet of Fines records for Essex in 1428, where a Thomas Stallard is recorded as being involved in a land transaction. This provides evidence of the name's presence in the eastern counties of England during the 15th century.

Notably, the Stallard family had a presence in the city of Bristol, as evidenced by the records of John Stallard (c. 1520 - 1585), a prominent merchant and Mayor of Bristol in 1578. His descendants continued to hold influential positions in the city for several generations.

Another notable figure with the Stallard surname was Sir Robert Stallard (1634 - 1719), a British military officer who served in the Nine Years' War and the War of the Spanish Succession. He was knighted for his service and held the rank of Colonel.
