The closest match I could find was the name Landry; it's an male name of English/Anglo-Saxon origin meaning "ruler of the place," or "Rough Land." Lantry is likely just a form of the name.

I only know Landry as an Old French name (coming from Landric). It does means "ruler, or king of the land".

Please don't cite those sources
They're notoriously inaccurate. Most "baby name" sites of that ilk are, I'm afraid.
For that reason, we prefer that you not cite those websites on here. We pride correct, scholarly information, which Babynames.com and its sister-sites fail to provide.
Thanks,
Miranda
