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 Landis as well in USA
