Mylinda Origin and Meaning

The name Mylinda is a girl's name.

Mylinda is a feminine given name that appears to be a variant of Melinda, blending elements of 'Mel' names with a distinctive spelling using 'y' instead of 'e'. The name Melinda itself derives from melitte, a Greek word meaning 'honey' or 'sweet as honey', combined with the suffix '-linda' meaning 'pretty' or 'beautiful' in Germanic languages. Mylinda emerged in the mid-20th century in America during a period when creative spellings of traditional names became popular. While less common than Melinda, Mylinda offers parents a way to provide their daughter with a familiar-sounding yet distinctive name. The name has never reached high levels of popularity but maintains a steady, albeit uncommon, presence in the United States.
