History & Origin

Lyndia is a blend of Lydia and the Lynn/Lynda family. Lydia is a New Testament name meaning 'woman of Lydia,' an ancient kingdom in what is now Turkey; folding in the fashionable Lyn- opening gave it a fresh mid-century feel while keeping its classical root.

It appeared from the nineteen-twenties, peaked around 1948, and faded by the two-thousands. A Lyndia from the peak is a senior today; standard Lydia is now enjoying a revival, while Lyndia remains a period variant.

Did you know? Lyndia crested around 1948, when Lynda, Linda, and Lynn were sweeping the charts and lent their Lyn- sound to older names like Lydia.
