About Linden
The graceful, natural image of the verdant shade tree transcends any connection with President Johnson.
Linden for boys#1415 US
A sturdy tree that can live for centuries, Linden was actually quite a popular boys' name from the 1930s to the 1960s--as was the presidential spelling Lyndon--but has now become unisex.
Linden for girls#2269 US
Though this name of a sturdy tree that can live for centuries was quite popular for boys in the first half of the twentieth century, at this point in time we can see Linden as a fresh-sounding possibility for a little girl named to honor an Aunt Linda. Early pagans and Christians embraced the Linden as a holy tree, thought to aid healing and often planted near churches. The Linden is the mythological symbol of truth, peace, and justice; court cases and marriage ceremonies were often held beneath Linden trees. The Linden tree is associated with the goddess Freya.
Pronounced LIN-dun.
As of October 2026, Linden ranked #1415 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #929 in 1947, Nameberry popularity #256.
