Orlando is the Italian and Spanish form of the Germanic name Hrodland, meaning “famous throughout the land.” The name is best known internationally through actor Orlando Bloom, star of *The Lord of the Rings* and *Pirates of the Caribbean* films, and also belongs to the Renaissance composer Orlando di Lasso. The Florida city of Orlando takes its name from either a soldier named Orlando Reeves or, romantically, from the Shakespearean character in *As You Like It*. As the Italian version of Roland, the name carries the legendary weight of the knight Roland from the medieval *Song of Roland*, making it a choice that blends romantic adventure with enduring fame.
