Landie Origin and Meaning
The name Landie is a boy's name meaning "land; long; landowner; country".
A unisex nickname style name, similar in sound and feel to Andie, Randy, Indy, or Danny, Landie could be a short form of any name including the land element. This includes Landon, Roland, Leland, or Orlando, though it might also work for Leander or Lysander.
As a surname, it could have derived from the Middle English word lavendrie, referring to someone who is in charge of washing, or from Landry or Landric, meaning "landowner", "lord of the manor" or "magistrate".
As a South African name, it coincides with the Afrikaans word for "country", likely referring to the countryside, to open fields and pastures.
In popular culture, Landie (or Landy) is sometimes used as an affectionate term to refer to Land Rover cars.
