No it's: Old English sand, from Proto-Germanic *sandam (source also of Old Norse sandr, Old Frisian sond, Middle Dutch sant, Dutch zand, German Sand)

Thanks for increasing the intelligence of this post by an infinite amount, unless I didn't get the humour with the blonde woman in the picture.

[http://i.imgur.com/OlX4SwZ.png] _**Hello @amirluq and @gmalhotra**_
Nice photo and good question. The answer from @gmalhotra is absolutely correct says a Viking from Norway (Old Norse sandr). Today we say and write sand. In Iceland they still say and write sandr.  The underlying answer in the question is "sand = from sea and land?" THAT IS CORRECT. Way back in history you could walk from Norway to England (Great Britain). There was only sand because it had been ocean, like it is today again. This has to do with  the ICE age and land moving up and down. So sand between land is correct.
