What is the meaning of the name Landow ?

Landow is German in Origin.

Landow functions as a modern given name derived from a surname and place-name. The surname Landow occurs in northern Germany and reflects the Slavic toponymic suffix -ow (-ov/-owo), “place of/belonging to”; its stem likely represents either the German word Land “land, territory” or an old personal name. Additionally, the spelling echoes Welsh Llandow (Vale of Glamorgan), sometimes Anglicized without the double L. Thus, Landow can be interpreted as “settlement/estate of Land-,” or more broadly “from the land/territory”; in modern use it suggests grounded, pastoral imagery.

As a given name, Landow is rare, with occasional appearance in North America since the late 20th century, following the popularity of surname-style names (cf. Landon). Variants and cognates include Lando (Italian/Spanish short form of Germanic names in Land-), Landon and Langdon (English), Landau and Landauer (German surnames), and Landa/Landy as familiar nicknames; short forms Lan and Lanny.
