History & Origin
Olando appears in United States records from the mid-1950s as an r-dropped spelling of Orlando, whose root Roland means 'famous land.' It stayed long-tail, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its high around 1975, with scattered later use.
A boy named Olando then would be in his late forties now. The full Orlando, helped by the city and the actor, carries the name today, while this trimmed spelling never became common and has not revived.
