History & Origin
Lyndsie is a respelling of Lindsay, from the Old English place name behind Lincolnshire's ancient district of Lindsey, 'Lincoln's wetland.' Lindsay crossed from surname to given name and then to a girls' name, peaking in the eighties and nineties; Lyndsie followed, appearing from the mid-1970s, cresting around 1989, and easing off through the 2010s.
A Lyndsie from the late-eighties peak is now in her mid-thirties, a Gen-X-to-Millennial name. The spelling ties her firmly to that era of inventive -ie endings, and it has not revived — parents today lean toward Lindsay or Lindsey. It carries the easy nickname Lynn and pairs well with siblings such as Kelsey, Brandon or Chelsea.
