Meaning & Origin

A male given name.

Landyn is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old English origin, a variant spelling of Landon, from an English place name meaning "long hill" or "ridge." The Y spelling gives this popular name a slightly more modern, distinctive written form.

Landyn is part of the large Landon variant family — Landon, Landen, Landyn — that has been among the more popular American boy names since the late 1990s. Its wide-open, landscape feel and the easy two-syllable flow have kept the Landon sound in steady use across its many spellings.
