Census
Landree in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 726 people with the first name Landree, which placed it at #15,745 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Landree
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Landree is White at 85.0%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (5.2%) and Hispanic (5.0%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Landree described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Landree at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Landree
The name Landree has its origins in the Old French language, stemming from the word "landry," which means "land" or "estate." The name first appeared during the Middle Ages, around the 12th century, and was primarily used in regions of northern France. It is believed to have been derived from the Germanic word "land," reflecting the connection to land ownership or rural areas.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Landree can be found in the Domesday Book, a medieval survey of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The book mentions a landowner named Landree de Beaumont, who held estates in Normandy and England. This suggests that the name was already in use among the Norman nobility at that time.
During the 13th century, a French knight named Landree de Montfort gained recognition for his bravery and military prowess in the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars in southern France. His exploits were chronicled in contemporary manuscripts, further cementing the name's association with chivalry and warfare.
In the 15th century, a renowned French scholar and cleric named Landree de La Salle made significant contributions to the field of education. He established several schools and institutions for underprivileged children, earning him a reputation as a pioneer in educational reform.
Another notable figure bearing the name Landree was the French explorer and cartographer Landree Baudin, who lived from 1721 to 1803. He led several expeditions to the Indian Ocean and the coasts of Australia, mapping and charting new territories for the French colonial empire.
In the realm of literature, the name Landree appears in the works of the renowned French writer Victor Hugo. In his novel "Les Misérables," published in 1862, one of the minor characters is named Landree Gillenormand, a wealthy Parisian bourgeois.
While the name Landree has its roots in France, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly through French emigration and cultural influence. However, its usage has remained relatively rare compared to other French names, maintaining a sense of historical and cultural significance.

FAQ
Landree: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Landree?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 910 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Landree going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 376,653 US residents.
Is Landree a common name?
We classify Landree as "Very Rare". It ranks above 89.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 918 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Landree most popular?
The single biggest year for Landree was 2018, when 64 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Landree is about 12 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Landree in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 726 people with the name Landree, or 0.24 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #15,745 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Landree in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Landree?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Landree leans strongly female. 680 people counted with this name were female (93.4%), compared with 48 male bearers (6.6%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Landree?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Landree is White at 85.0%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (5.2%) and Hispanic (5.0%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Landree most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Landree in the 2020 Census, accounting for 85.0% (617 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Landree in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Landree a female name?
Yes, 98.8% of people registered as Landree in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Landree still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Landree in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Landree can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
