landon
origin: English
meaning: From the long hill
Landon comes from an Old English last name meaning “long” (lang) and “hill” (dun) -- or, a ridge. The name dwelled at the very bottom of the charts (when it managed to crack the top 100 at all) until the ’70s, when it came close to the top 500. It slowly moved up the charts during the ’80s and ’90s, then got a big push thanks to the ’02 film A Walk to Remember, starring Shane West as Landon Carter. It’s pretty much been shooting straight up the charts ever since, and it’s definitely a name that will continue to rise.
