History & Origin

Landri respells Landry, a French surname descended from the Germanic name Landric — land plus ric, 'ruler of the land'. Saint Landry, a seventh-century bishop of Paris remembered for feeding the poor, gave it early standing.

For boys it appears only very rarely, against heavier girls' use of similar spellings. Rare, respelled, and French-rooted.
