The name Landi, as given to me, is an Albanian one and it comes from an Illyrian tribe
named Taulanti--lots of years BCE.
Taulant is still a fairly used name in Albania, and every Taulant is usually called Landi.
My parents decided to make it easier for everyone and named me Landi from the start.
The Landi name, along with it's related names, like Roland /o, Orlando, Landis etc is thought to have come from German; meaning land, country, place.
They are at least
1,843 families with the last name "Landi" in the USA, I have gotten emails from other "Landi" in Brazil, South Africa, Argentina and definitely from
Italy. They are many Landi
s as well in

About the domain name:
In response to some inquiries I have gotten:
Is Landi.com for sale? Not really. I didn't register to sell it (just imagine what names were free in 1997 if resale was my goal,) I don't have a for sale sign or a 'right price' in mind. And of course the name was registered and is being used in good faith.
Landi is my first name so it's obvious why I registered and have owned it since 1997.
Maybe one day I'll use it for a blog or as the name for whatever else I decide to do.
Time will tell, but as of right now it's paid until 2018 and will be renewed as time goes by. I also use it extensively for my @Landi.com e-mail and to get in touch with my extended and friends family by posting sporadic announcements /making it easier for them to find me online.
