Lindi Origin and Meaning

The name Lindi is a girl's name.

Lindi is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It can be a diminutive of names ending in 'linda' such as Belinda or Melinda, or a variant spelling of Lindy, which itself developed as a nickname for names like Linda or Lindsay. In some African cultures, particularly in Tanzania, Lindi also exists as a place name. The name has a bright, cheerful quality with its ending 'i' giving it a playful, diminutive feel. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Lindi saw modest usage in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. It appeals to parents seeking a friendly, unpretentious name with a vintage charm that remains relatively uncommon in contemporary use.
