Linzey Origin and Meaning

The name originated as a Scottish and English surname derived from the Old English elements 'lind' meaning 'lime tree' and 'eg' meaning 'island' or 'area,' essentially referring to a place with lime trees. This particular spelling with 'z' and 'ey' ending gives the traditional name a contemporary twist.
