Linzy Origin and Meaning

The name Linzy is a girl's name.

Linzy is a feminine name that emerged as a modern variant spelling of Lindsay or Lindsey. These names originated as English surnames derived from the Old English element 'lind' meaning 'linden tree' combined with 'eg' meaning 'island.' Linzy gained modest popularity in the 1980s and 1990s when alternative spellings of traditional names became fashionable. The 'z' gives the name a contemporary, playful quality while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Though less common than Lindsay, Linzy appeals to parents seeking a slightly more unique rendering of the classic name. It projects a friendly, approachable personality while the distinctive spelling helps set bearers apart from more conventional namesakes.
