History & Origin
Lindberg is a Scandinavian surname — lind, 'linden tree', plus berg, 'mountain' — that briefly became a first name. Its American story is tied almost entirely to Charles Lindbergh, whose 1927 solo flight from New York to Paris made him a national hero.
Given to only a couple of dozen boys a year at its 1927 crest, it dropped away as quickly as it rose and had all but vanished by the nineteen-sixties. It reads today as a snapshot of a single historic moment rather than a lasting name.
