Here is a name that is destined to go down in history! Orlan is a boy’s name of German and Spanish origin. Meaning “renowned in the land,” this surname-turned-first name derives from the elements hrod, meaning “fame” and land, meaning “land,” and has connections to the classically popular name Orlando. With a moniker like this, it will be easy for baby Orlan to make a name for themselves in more ways than one. Or, Orly, and Lan are just a few nickname options that would work famously, we think.
