as a First Name
Ostensibly from the vocabulary word denoting the lime tree (originally the adjectival form, derived from Old English linde). The given name is recorded in the United States in the late 19th century as a boy's name. Use as a girl's name is of more recent, probably 20th-century, origin and it is more likely that this is simply an elaboration of Linda.
