Landon is English in Origin.
Landon is an English surname turned given name, from Old English lang 'long' + dun 'hill, ridge,' denoting someone from places called Langdon. Medieval records show it as a locative surname in England; as a first name it emerged in the United States and Canada in the late 20th century, entering the Top 100 in the 2000s.
Meaning centers on "long hill" or "ridge." Spelling variants include Landen, Landyn, Landin, and Landan; a related name is Langdon. The name's rise was aided by cultural touchstones: actor Michael Landon's enduring fame, the Nicholas Sparks character Landon Carter (A Walk to Remember), and U.S. soccer star Landon Donovan. Today it reads modern yet grounded, balancing a smooth sound with sturdy Anglo-Saxon roots, and remains popular for boys while occasional unisex spellings appear.
