The Story of Landrie
Landrie is a feminine variant of Landry, a surname and given name of Germanic and Old French origin. It derives from the Germanic elements 'land' (land, territory) and 'ric/rich' (ruler, power), meaning 'ruler of the land.' Landry appears in medieval French history as the name of Saint Landry of Paris, a 7th-century bishop. The Landrie spelling softens the name for feminine use.
Landrie began appearing as a girl's name in the mid-2010s, partly inspired by the popularity of Landry as a surname-name in Louisiana (the Landry family is one of the most prominent Cajun families). The name also benefits from its similarity to the trendy Audrey.
In Cajun Louisiana, Landry is one of the most common French-origin surnames. NFL coaches Tom Landry and Sean Payton's references to the name have kept it in the sports-conscious naming lexicon.
