                          • Description:

                            Linwood is a masculine name of English origin, derived from a surname and place name meaning 'lake forest' or 'pool in the woods,' combining Old English elements 'lin' (pool, lake) and 'wudu' (wood, forest). The name evokes peaceful natural imagery of woodland landscapes with water features. Linwood gained modest popularity in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly in the 1910s-1930s, though it never became extremely common. It has the distinguished, somewhat formal quality characteristic of surname-derived first names. While less frequently used today, Linwood maintains appeal for parents seeking a name with natural associations and a traditional, dignified sound. Notable bearers include American musician Linwood 'Little Milton' Campbell.
