Orlando is the gerund form of the verb orlar, "to trim." It means "trimming."

Orlando is also used metaphorically as any great Christian hero, after the semi-mythological paladin of Charlemagne, whose heroic deeds against the Muslim invaders are the stuff of legend.

Take your pick.

He must have said something like " desde el Fin del MUNdo" (from the bottom of the world) and his name must be Orlando - quite a well-known name in Argentina.

Actually it does, from what i read there are several, but the two main ones are a type of rose, and the romantic form of the name Roland.

The verb 'orlar' means to border, to trim or to edge. Literally, 'orlando' means bordering or edging or trimming. I don't know if this has any relevance in the context of your message.
