History & Origin
Durinda is a made name of the -inda group, echoing Dorinda — a literary name meaning 'beautiful gift' — and Belinda. Names in this family multiplied in the mid-twentieth century as parents recombined familiar, melodic pieces.
It was always a genuine rarity, carried by only a small handful of girls a year around its early-1950s peak, and it faded by the mid-1970s. Durinda is best treated as an honest coinage with no deep tradition; it has not revived and reads clearly as a name of its time.
