What is the meaning of the name Lando ?

The baby name Lando is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced LAN-doh (English: /ˈlændoʊ/; Italian: /ˈlando/).

Lando is Italian in Origin.

Lando is an Italian given name with medieval roots, from Latin Landus and the Germanic element land “territory.” It appears independently in Lombard‑era Italy and as a short form of Land‑ names, and also as a hypocoristic of Orlando - the Italian form of Roland (from hrod “fame” + land “land”), hence “renowned in the land.” A notable early bearer is Pope Lando (913–914). The name also occurs as an Italian surname.

Variants and related forms include Orlando, Rolando, Roland, and Landolfo/Landolf; diminutives may be Landino in Italian. English Landon is similar in look but of separate surname origin. Modern usage is uncommon yet recognizable in Italy and in Spanish‑speaking countries as a nickname for Orlando. Contemporary visibility owes much to the Star Wars character Lando Calrissian, which popularized the name internationally.
