Lindie

Lindie is a feminine name that emerged as a diminutive or variant spelling of Linda or Lindsay. With Germanic roots, Linda means 'gentle, soft' or 'beautiful,' while Lindsay was originally a Scottish place name and surname. This particular spelling gained modest attention in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s when creative name variations were becoming popular. The '-ie' ending gives Lindie a cheerful, youthful quality compared to the more formal Linda. While never reaching the popularity of its parent names, Lindie has maintained steady if infrequent usage, appealing to parents seeking a friendly, approachable name with vintage charm. It's sometimes used as a nickname for longer names like Belinda, Melinda, or Rosalind.

Pronounced LIN-dee.

As of October 2026, Lindie ranked #9220 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3821 in 1960.
