Landry

US Popularity Rank: 1496

Origin: German

Meaning: Ruler; Land; The strength of the earth; One who dominates the lands

Landry is a gender-neutral name of French and German origin. Meaning "ruler," "land," "the strength of the earth," and "one who dominates the lands," it should come as no surprise that Landry's big personality will quickly take center stage in your home. Deeply rooted in French history, the name was recorded in the early fifth century and attributed to Saint Landry of Seés. Following this influential figure, a seventh-century saint of the same name built one of the first major Parisian hospitals during a time of great need. Owing to such a solid background, little Landry can be inspired to lead by example, helping and guiding those around them.
