Rolandas is Lithuanian in Origin.

Rolandas is the Lithuanian masculine form of Roland, ultimately from Old High German Hruodland/Chrodland (hruod/hrod ‘fame, renown’ + land ‘land, territory’). It conveys the sense of “famous land” or “renowned throughout the land.” Variants across languages include Roland (English, German, French), Rowland (English), Roeland (Dutch), Orlando and Rolando (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), and Roldán (Spanish). Related Baltic forms are Rolands (Latvian) and the feminine Rolanda. Lithuanian diminutives include Rolas and Rolis.

Carried to prominence by the medieval hero Roland of the French epic La Chanson de Roland, the name spread widely through Europe in the Middle Ages and again in 19th-century Romantic revivals. Rolandas entered common Lithuanian use in the 20th century and remains familiar today. Notable bearers include Rolandas Paksas, former president of Lithuania, and basketball star Rolandas Šiškauskas. The name balances international recognizability with a distinctly Lithuanian ending.
