- Named for Joseph Jérôme Lefrançais de Lalande (July 11, 1732 – April 4, 1807), a French astronomer and writer. He devoted himself to the improvement of the planetary theory. His star catalog of 1801 contains many faint (low mass) but nearby stars.

- Lalande Delta (hill west of Lalande).
- Lalande Eta (elongated hill west of Lalande, east-northeast of Fra Mauro).
- Lalande Iota (elongated hill southwest of Lalande A).
- Lalande Omega (seems to be near Lalande Delta) (for the hills Lalande Delta, Eta, and Iota, see Chart 68 in the Times Atlas of the Moon).

Lalande and his celestial cat (Felis)
It should be mentioned that somewhere in (or around, or long before) 1805 Joseph J. L. de Lalande wanted to see a new constellation between Antlia and Hydra, and decided to create a cat (Felis) from several inconspicuous stars up there.
- From page 221 in Richard Hinckley Allen's book Starnames, their Lore and Meaning (Felis, the Cat) :
- I am very fond of cats. I will let this figure scratch on the chart. The starry sky has worried me quite enough in my life, so that now I can have my joke with it.
