Lanny

From the land of the Longobards; bright or shining

Lanny is primarily a diminutive of Lawrence or Leonard, though it also serves as a nickname for Roland or Langston. As a derivative of Lawrence, it relates to the laurel tree, while its connection to Leonard links it to the strength of a lion. In some contexts, it is treated as a standalone name with roots in Germanic elements meaning 'bright' or 'land'.
