ArchivesRe: Olando - meaning and origin
in reply to a message by Renee
Isn't there a Swedish placename that's something like Oland? With an umlaut on the O, if I recall ...
So, maybe he was named after his ancestral home, with the O added to make it more of a personal name - like Orlando, as you say, but also like Otto and suchlike names.
