Meaning and background
The story behind Delano
Delano became a given name from a surname with French-language family connections. Records link the Delano line with spellings such as Delannoy and de la Noye, and the name is prominent in Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s family. The underlying place-name route can vary among accounts, so a single precise ancient translation would overstate what the sources establish. The English name is normally said in three syllables.
