Landiss is an uncommon masculine name with potential origins as a variant spelling of Landis or Landers. These names typically derive from Old English, German, or Scottish geographical surnames meaning 'land' or 'territory.' As a given name, Landiss remains exceptionally rare, likely originating from family surnames being adapted as first names, a practice that became increasingly popular in America during the 20th century.
