Landors is English in Origin.

Landors is a modern, surname-style given name most plausibly built on the English surname Landor with an added -s, a genitival or patronymic ending familiar from British surnames like Roberts or Collins. The etymology of Landor is debated: many scholars connect it to Old English land + ora “shore, bank,” yielding “dweller at the land’s edge,” while others see an anglicized form of the German toponymic Landauer (“from Landau”) or a general Germanic Land- root meaning “territory.” Its sound also aligns with popular Landon, which means “long hill.”

As a given name, Landors is exceedingly rare, emerging within the late-20th-century fashion for surname-first names and -s endings (e.g., Brooks, Rhodes). The surname gained literary luster via poet Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864). Variants and related forms include Landor, Landers, Landon, Lando, and Landry; possible nicknames are Lando and Lan. Overall meanings cluster around “by the shore,” “of the land,” or “son of Landor.”
