Belinda: meaning and origin
The meaning of Belinda is not known for certain, says Behind the Name. The first part may be related to the Italian bella, “beautiful”, and the second to the Old German lind, “soft, tender”. Wikipedia offers another idea, the Old High German Betlinde. The name first appeared in the 17th century and was used by Alexander Pope in The Rape of the Lock (1712).
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name gives Bindy as the diminutive. Linda and Bel are easy short forms too, though the sources do not list them.
Famous people named Belinda
Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic was born in Flawil, in northeastern Switzerland, in 1997. Wikipedia says she won the junior French Open and Wimbledon titles in 2013, reached world No. 4 in 2020, and won the gold medal in singles at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the biggest of her ten tour titles.

Belinda trivia
Belinda is also a small moon of Uranus. Wikipedia says it was found in Voyager 2 images taken on January 13, 1986, and named after the heroine of Pope’s poem. It is about 80 miles long and 40 miles wide, and a 2012 study found that Belinda and the moon Cupid will probably be the first pair of Uranus’s moons to collide, in 100,000 to 10 million years.
