What is the meaning of the name Landino ?

Landino is in Origin.

Landino is an Italian masculine given name formed with the affectionate diminutive -ino from Lando and occasionally Orlando/Rolando. Its roots lie in Germanic onomastics: the stem land “territory, domain” appears in many medieval names (e.g., Landolfo ‘land + wolf’), while Orlando/Rolando continue Hrodland ‘fame + land.’ Thus Landino carries the sense of “little Lando,” evoking territory, domain, or - by Orlando’s pathway - “famed land.”

In use, Landino appears in Tuscan records as a hypocoristic and is better known as a Renaissance surname borne by the humanist Cristoforo Landino, which has kept the form recognizable. As a given name it remains rare in Italy but surfaces within the Italian diaspora in Iberia and Latin America. Variants and related forms include Lando, Orlando, Rolando, Landuccio, and the feminine Landina; common nicknames are Lando and Dino. Similar-sounding Landon is unrelated, deriving from an Old English place-name meaning “long hill.”
