A rising surname, perhaps inspired by legendary Dallas Cowboys football coach Tom Landry, this name is historically associated with St. Landry, a 7th-century bishop of Paris and founder of the city's first hospital. Derived from the Germanic Landric, giving it a strong and distinctive meaning, it was used as a masculine choice in France during the latter half of the 20th-century, while in the US, it is a gender neutral option. 
 
Landry first entered the Top 1000 for girls in 2014, four years after it had started appearing for boys, though it had been used sparingly since the 80s. It dropped out of the charts in 2022, but a more recent year saw it become one of the fastest rising gender neutral choices of the year, re-entering the Top 1000 for both sexes. 
 . 
Given to 229 boys and 279 girls, parents may now be less concerned with it being confused with laundry — though in an age of Denim, Corduroy, Suede, and Linen, maybe that isn't such a big deal.

St. Landry was a seventh century bishop of Paris, founder of the city's first hospital, though in the US, it may be better connected with legendary Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry, an association that makes this a sports hero name with a hint of ruggedness. Familiar in France between the 1970s and 2000s, it also featured at the latter end of the US Top 1000 during the 20210s.
 
Derived from the Germanic Landric, it has the bold meaning of "ruler of the land". Used as a masculine choice in France, in the US, 2025 saw it re-enter the Top 1000 as a gender neutral choice, given to 229 boys and 279 girls. It was a fast rising in general, meaning is has possibly been able to escape the concerns that it will be confused with laundry.
