Landon Name Meaning

A recent chart darling with serious style, Landon is a modern update of yesterday’s Brandon. He’s a soft pick with a sweet sound, similar to chart regulars Wyatt and Owen.

With a super cool nickname like Lando, Landon is a force to be reckoned with. He’s a boy at heart and a spirited explorer ready for more. Little Landon is certainly made of snips, snails, and puppy dog tails as most little boys are. He’s joyous and friendly, a charming little guy with an enviable optimism.

Landon has held onto a healthy level of popularity, making him a regular in the classroom but never reaching a point of overuse. As he slowly makes his descent from his peak, he’s becoming fresher with each year, easing into sweet spot territory on the charts. These names are well-known enough to avoid common spelling or pronunciation issues yet not as common as names heard over and over towards the Top 10.

While Landon is cooling on the charts, he does fit in a number of trends seen today. L names for boys like Liam, Logan, and Lucas are teetering at the top of the charts yet Landon offers the same feel without the widespread popularity. He’s also a surname find for those keen on names like Cooper and Carson.

I have had this name picked out since I was 7 or 8years old. I saw it embroidered on a towel in a LandsEnd catalog and it’s been my absolute favorite ever since! His full name is Landon Night Emerson.

His dads family has a family middle name Night

My boyfriend and I were watching Little House on the Prarie (lol) and we both blurted out Landon when Michael Landon’s name showed on the screen! We loved the sound of it and decided on it around 5 months pregnant and never regretted it.

I wanted a name with meaning. A family name. A biblical name. I had the perfect name picked out. But it just wasn’t the right one. We made list after list. Landon was on one of those lists. I had heard the name from a tv show and liked the way it sounded. But i didn’t think my husband would like it. When I was reading names off the list and Landon came up it surprised me when he actually said he liked it. He even picked the middle name out (Cole), he don’t even know where that came from. So we kinda decided we liked the name even though it was unusual and had no meaning to us whatsoever. But, I still wasn’t sure so I kept trying out different names because I really wanted it to have meaning. Well, needless to say, no other name stuck. He name was Landon Cole and thats all there was to it. And that’s how everything has went since. All the plans I had went out the window and I just went with the flow. I don’t regret one moment because now I have a beautiful, healthy baby boy that I love with all I am.

Ever since I was in high school, I liked the name Landon for a baby boy. My uncle had a friend named Landon Day, and it sounded so nice. My husband’s name is Brandon and oddly he liked the name Logan. We compromised on the fact that Landon is close to his name. Logan is too popular around our area and people we know.
So Landon Waylon it was decided ?

His father and I just told each other our favorite boy names and Landon was literally the first one we both said. So it made it feel even more right for his name.

I chose Landon after hearing some of my husband’s lifelong friends used it. It’s apparently an old nickname they gave him. It is a more uncommon but not overly strange name. It felt right and flowed well with his last and middle name.

I chose the name addilyn for my 3 year old daughter and landon for my son that was born 11/19/2019, i chose addilyn because you barely hear that name anymore and it fits her. I chose landon for my sons name because of the movie a walk to remember.
