Linzie
About Linzie
Linzie is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Lindsay or Lindsey, which were originally Scottish and English surnames derived from the Old English elements 'lind' (lime tree) and 'eg' (island). This spelling variation with 'z' instead of 's' and the 'ie' ending gives it a more playful, contemporary feel compared to traditional spellings. Linzie was most popular during the 1970s and 1980s when surname-derived feminine names were trending. The name has a youthful, friendly quality with its 'zee' sound ending. Though less common now than during its peak, Linzie maintains appeal for parents seeking a name that sounds familiar yet isn't overly common. With its Scottish heritage and approachable sound, Linzie bridges traditional naming practices with modern spelling preferences.
Pronounced LIN-zee.
As of October 2026, Linzie ranked #11761 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #4069 in 1987.
