解説 Definition
Orlando はアメリカ合衆国フロリダ州の都市オーランドを指す固有名詞です。観光地として知られる都市名で、地名なので通常は大文字で Orlando と書かれます。
A city in central Florida in the United States, widely known as a tourism and convention destination. Orlando is a geographical proper noun, so its name is normally written with an initial capital letter.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Orlando はここでは人名ではなく、フロリダ州の都市名です。固有名詞なので先頭を大文字にして Orlando と書き、in Orlando、stay in Orlando、a conference in Orlando のように場所を示す in と結び付けます。同じ綴りの男性名もあるため、Florida や travel など周囲の語で都市か人物かを判断しましょう。
For this entry, remember Orlando as a city in central Florida, not as the male given name with the same spelling. Capitalize it because it is a proper noun. Fix it in memory through common place expressions: Orlando is in Florida, stay in Orlando, fly to Orlando, and hold a conference in Orlando. Tourism, conventions, and Florida provide strong context clues that the city is intended. When Orlando is a person, it can serve as the subject or object without a place preposition, so the surrounding grammar and meaning help distinguish the two uses.
例文

orlando の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Orlando はイタリア語形の男性名で、古フランス語 Roland、さらにゲルマン語系 Hruodland にさかのぼります。hruod「名声」+ land「土地」からなり、英雄らしい響きを帯びる名で、Roland や Robert にも近い語根が見られます。
The place name Orlando has the same form as the Italian version of the male name Roland. That personal name can be traced through Old French Roland to a Germanic name commonly reconstructed from elements meaning “fame” and “land.” The exact historical reason the Florida settlement received the name Orlando is not certain. Therefore, the personal name explains the form and its deeper linguistic ancestry, while the city’s precise naming story should be treated cautiously.
