Census
Landrie in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 807 people with the first name Landrie, which placed it at #14,570 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.

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Landrie 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 Landrie at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Landrie
The name Landrie has its origins in the Old French language, dating back to around the 12th century. It is derived from the Germanic root "land," meaning "land" or "territory," and the suffix "-rie," which indicates a place or location. This suggests that the name may have been initially used as a place name or a descriptive epithet referring to someone's association with a particular land or region.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Landrie can be found in the "Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres," a medieval cartulary (collection of charters) from the 12th century, which mentions a person named "Landrie de Villebeton." This suggests that the name was in use in parts of what is now northern France during the High Middle Ages.
In the 13th century, there are records of a French nobleman named Landrie de Montfort, who was a prominent figure during the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars in southern France. He was a loyal supporter of Simon de Montfort, the leader of the crusade, and played a significant role in the military campaigns against the Cathar heretics.
Moving forward to the 15th century, there is mention of a French knight named Landrie de La Trémoille, who served under King Charles VII during the latter stages of the Hundred Years' War against the English. He was known for his bravery in battle and his loyalty to the French Crown.
In the 16th century, there was a French Renaissance poet and playwright named Landrie Desbordes, who was born in the town of Chartres in 1538. He is best known for his poetic works, which were heavily influenced by the Petrarchan tradition and the Italian Renaissance.
Another notable figure with the name Landrie was Landrie de Vigne, a French architect and engineer who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He is credited with designing several notable buildings and fortifications in Paris and other parts of France, including the Bastille and the Palais du Luxembourg.
While the name Landrie has its roots in Old French, it has also been adopted and used in other languages and cultures over the centuries, albeit with variations in spelling and pronunciation. However, the historical records and examples provided here focus primarily on the name's origins and usage within the French context.

FAQ
Landrie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Landrie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,081 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Landrie 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 317,072 US residents.
Is Landrie a common name?
We classify Landrie as "Rare". It ranks above 90.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,091 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Landrie most popular?
The single biggest year for Landrie was 2016, when 79 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Landrie 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 Landrie in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 807 people with the name Landrie, or 0.27 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #14,570 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 Landrie 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 Landrie?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Landrie leans strongly female. 786 people counted with this name were female (97.5%), compared with 20 male bearers (2.5%). 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 Landrie?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Landrie is White at 87.9%. The next largest groups are Two or More Races (6.1%) and Hispanic (3.2%). 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 Landrie most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Landrie in the 2020 Census, accounting for 87.9% (709 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 Landrie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Landrie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Landrie 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 Landrie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Landrie 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 Landrie 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.
