Where does the name Linda come from?
Linda began in the Middle Ages as a short form of Germanic names containing the element lind, meaning “soft, flexible, tender”. By happy coincidence, linda is also the Spanish and Portuguese word for “beautiful”, so the name carries two lovely meanings at once. It has been widely used in the English-speaking world since the end of the 19th century.
Other forms of Linda
Linda is already short and sweet, so there isn’t much to trim. Family and friends use Lindy, Linnie or Lyndi, and Lynda is a well-known alternative spelling. In Sweden and Norway the related name Linn is popular. And if she has Spanish-speaking friends, they will happily point out the compliment hidden in her name.
Well-known Lindas
Linda Ronstadt recorded hits across rock, folk, country and pop. Linda McCartney was a photographer, a cookbook author and a member of the band Wings. And Linda Hamilton became an action hero as Sarah Connor in The Terminator (1984) and its sequels.
Linda’s popularity
Linda had one of the fastest rises in American baby-name history. It entered the US top 100 in the 1930s, then jumped to number 2 in both the 1940s and the 1950s, with more than 560,000 Lindas born in the 1950s alone. Behind the Name records it as the number one name from 1947 to 1952, briefly beating Mary. Most Lindas today are in their 60s, 70s and 80s.
A few more things about Linda
Linda’s rise and fall was so fast that a Linda born in 1940 and one born in 1970 grew up with very different classmates. In the Social Security tables it was 89th in the 1930s, 2nd in the 1940s and 1950s, and back down to 68th by the 1970s. Its relatives include the Dutch Linde and the old Germanic form Linza.
Gift ideas with Linda in mind
- For a cook or photographer. Like Linda McCartney, she can fill it with recipes, shot lists or photo notes.
- Retirement. A home for travel plans, garden notes or the first pages of a memoir.
- A compliment in the card. Remind her that linda means “beautiful” in Spanish.
- Mother’s Day or a grandparent’s birthday. A notebook for family stories, recipes and memories.
A notebook for every Linda
Linda’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Linda’s Notebook” on the cover tells Linda it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
