Landar is in Origin.

Landar is a rare Germanic given name built on the ancient root land- “land, territory,” widely used in early medieval West Germanic naming. The clipped second element is debated: it may abbreviate -hari/-her “army, warrior” or -hard “strong, hardy,” yielding senses such as “defender of the land” or “steadfast land-holder.” The form appears in Latinized records as Landar or Landarius, and belongs to the same name-family as Landeric/Landericus (source of French Landry), Lambert, and Lando.

Usage is sporadic in modern times, more often seen as a surname or revived as a distinctive first name with a sturdy, archaic feel. Variants and cognates include Landar, Lander, Landers, Landry, Lando, Landhard/Landhart, and the pet forms Lanzo and Lanny; it is unrelated to Greek Leander. The name suits those seeking a concise, pan-Germanic heritage choice with strong, earthy associations.
