Meaning of Landis
Landis is a masculine given name of Anglo-American usage, originally derived from an English surname denoting a landholder or someone associated with open territory. Its etymological roots trace back to the Old English element “land,” underscoring an implicit association with stability and groundedness. In the United States, Landis has maintained a modest but consistent presence: it first entered national records in the early 20th century, experienced its highest popularity in the mid-1980s—reaching the mid-600s in ranking—and in 2024 stood at number 909 with fifteen recorded births. This pattern reflects a name that, while never ubiquitous, has benefited from steady use across generations. Analysts note its appeal lies in a blend of traditional resonance and under-the-radar individuality—qualities that offer modern parents a choice both rooted in history and discreetly distinctive.
