History & Origin

Lynzi is an American respelling of Lindsay that shows up in records from around 1980, when Lindsay was a fashionable girls' name. Dropping the -ind- for a slim Lyn- spelling, it reflects the era's taste for personalised versions of popular names.

It stayed rare in this form, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its early-1990s high, while Lindsay and Lindsey led. A girl named Lynzi then is in her thirties now.
