History & Origin
Lindia is an elaborated spelling of Linda, the runaway mid-century hit. Linda comes from Spanish 'linda' (pretty), echoed by a Germanic 'lind' meaning soft or tender, and Lindia keeps that gentle, pretty sense while dressing it in a longer -ia ending.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its late-1940s high and gone from the records by about 1990. A girl named Lindia then would be in her seventies today; the name still reads as a vintage cousin of Linda rather than a revival pick.
