Lyndon
About Lyndon
Lyndon as a feminine name is quite uncommon, as it has traditionally been used as a masculine name of English origin meaning 'linden tree hill' or 'lime tree hill.' The linden tree symbolizes peace and justice in various European traditions. While predominantly used for boys, some parents may choose it for girls as part of the trend toward gender-neutral naming. The name has a strong yet melodic quality with its crisp 'L' beginning and soft ending. As a feminine choice, Lyndon would be considered very rare and distinctive. Its nature-based origins and pleasant sound may appeal to parents seeking an unconventional name with established roots and a connection to the natural world.
Pronounced LIN-dun.
As of October 2026, Lyndon ranked #7015 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4116 in 2018.
