Landric is a Germanic dithematic name built from land “territory” and rik “ruler, power,” yielding meanings like “ruler of the land” or “powerful in the realm.” It entered early medieval Frankish and Old High German use, and appears in Latin as Landericus or Landricus. Notable bearers include Landeric (Landry), a 7th‑century mayor of the palace of Neustria, and Saint Landry of Paris (Landericus), renowned for charity and the founding of the Hôtel-Dieu hospital. The name surfaces in Merovingian and Carolingian records before receding in later centuries.

Today Landric is rare in English but resonates with the revival of medieval and surname-style names. Established variants include Landry (French/English), Landeric, Landericus, and the medieval French short form Landri; related spellings such as Landrik and Landrich also occur. Informal shortenings like Lan, Lando, and Rick emerge naturally, preserving its strong, grounded meaning.
