History & Origin
Alando is a contemporary American name that extends Lando, a clipped form of Orlando and Rolando, both of which mean 'famous land' from Germanic roots. The extra A- is a stylistic touch, and the name is assembled rather than inherited whole.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak in the early nineteen-seventies. A boy named Alando then is in his fifties today, an uncommon extension of the familiar Orlando.
