Linzi Origin and Meaning

The name Linzi is a girl's name.

Linzi is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive or variant of Lindsay or Lindsey. These names derive from an English surname meaning 'island of linden trees' or 'Lincoln's marsh.' The 'zi' ending gives this traditional name a more modern, spunky feel. Linzi gained modest popularity in the UK, particularly Scotland, during the 1970s and 1980s, but has always remained relatively uncommon in the United States. The name has a youthful, energetic quality and maintains the natural connection to linden trees found in its parent name. Its brief, punchy sound makes it appealing to parents looking for a name that's easy to pronounce yet distinctive, with a cheerful and friendly character.
