What Does the Name Landree Mean?

Landree is a spelling variant of Landry, a name that comes from the Germanic personal name Landric. That name joins two elements: land, meaning "land" or "territory," and rīc, meaning "ruler," "power," or "king." Read literally, the name means "ruler of the land" or "land ruler." The name passed into English use through the French surname Landry, and the Landree spelling is an English phonetic rendering of that same base rather than a separate etymology.

Landree Name History & Origins

The source of the name is the Germanic given name Landric, which entered medieval France as Landri and was Latinized as Landericus. Saint Landry (Landericus), a seventh-century bishop of Paris, is the best-known early bearer, and churches and places in France were named for him. From the personal name came the French surname Landry, which was widespread in France and later in French-settled parts of North America, particularly Louisiana, where it is closely associated with Cajun families.

English speakers adopted Landry as a given name, and Landree is a later spelling that shifts the ending toward a phonetic "-ee" sound. The spelling belongs to the broad American practice of reshaping surnames into given names. Landree remains uncommon and is used mainly in the United States; it shares its base with the surname and with the form Landry rather than descending from an independent source.
