Landers is English in Origin.
Landers is a transferred surname used as a given name in English. It typically represents the patronymic of Lander, with the -s marking “son of.” Lander itself comes from the Germanic root land (Old English land; Middle High German lant) plus the agentive -er, yielding senses such as “man of the land,” “country-dweller,” or “landholder.” The surname is found in England and German-speaking regions and also appears in Irish records through English settlement.
As a first name, Landers surfaces in the United States from the 19th century and aligns with the modern surname-as-given-name style, remaining uncommon but recognizable (notably borne by athlete Landers Nolley). Variants and related forms include Lander (without -s) and the surnames Landes and Landis; short forms include Lan and Lanny. The overall meaning evokes rootedness and stewardship - literally, someone connected to the land.
