Ethelinda

Ethelinda is a feminine name that combines the elements "ethel" meaning "noble" or "of noble birth" and "linda" meaning "pretty." The name was used in medieval England but became less common after the Norman Conquest and is virtually extinct today, given to no baby girls in the US at the most recent count.

Still, Ethelinda has an old-world charm and elegance that evokes images of medieval nobility and folklore. The name offers the cute nicknames Ethel, Linda, or Lindy, providing versatility within its formal dignity.

Pronounced ETH-ul-in-dah.
