Origin and meaning

It originates from the medieval name Orlandinus, documented in a 1170 Cremona record mentioning an Orlandinus of Caliano as a witness. This origin is linked to related variants such as Orlandino, which is rare and mostly found in the Brindisi area, and Orlandinotti, a unique form likely derived as a diminutive of the original name.
