Lindy

Lime tree; linden tree; beautiful

Lindy originated as a diminutive for names ending in -linda, such as Melinda or Belinda, but also functions as a standalone name derived from the Germanic word for the linden tree. In the mid-20th century, it gained popularity as a nickname-turned-given-name, often associated with the Lindy Hop dance. It carries a sense of mid-century charm and natural simplicity.
