History & Origin

Blinda trims Belinda down to two brisk syllables. Belinda itself is a puzzle: it may draw on the Italian 'bella,' beautiful, or on an older Germanic element, and it gained fame through Alexander Pope's poetry. Blinda keeps the pretty sound while shedding the opening 'be.'

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its high around 1953. A girl named Blinda then is now in her later years.

Did you know? Belinda, the name behind Blinda, was made famous by an eighteenth-century poem, which helped carry it far beyond its uncertain origins.
