Landry
Meaning of Landry
Landry rolls off the tongue like a tabla beat—quick, bright, unforgettable. Born from the Old German words for “land” and “ruler,” it literally means “leader of the land,” a title that sounds grand yet feels friendly, like a neighbor sharing mangoes in summer. Used for boys and girls alike, Landry wears its unisex badge with pride, dancing between strength and softness the way a monsoon breeze sways both coconut palms and tiny marigolds. American parents have been quietly cheering for the name since the days of legendary NFL coach Tom Landry, and its steady climb through the U.S. charts proves that this under-the-radar gem is gaining fans with every passing year. For families who want a name that feels global yet grounded—think of feet planted firmly in the soil while eyes scan the horizon—Landry offers that perfect blend of earthy grace and trailblazing spirit.
