History & Origin

Dollinda belongs to the -inda family of soft, feminine names popular in the mid twentieth century. It blends a Doll- opening with the ending shared by Belinda and Melinda, an ending often tied to Germanic lind, 'gentle'. As an invented name its own meaning stays light, which we note honestly.

Dollinda was never common in the United States, flickering only around the late nineteen-fifties and given to only about twenty girls a year at its brief peak near 1958. A woman named Dollinda then is in her later years today.

Did you know? The -inda ending carried a wave of mid-century American names - Belinda, Melinda, Rosalinda - and Dollinda is one of its rarest offshoots.
