Lindsay: meaning and origin
Lindsay comes from an English and Scottish surname, says Behind the Name, taken from Lindsey, a region of eastern England. Wikipedia traces it to the Old English Lindesege, “island of Lind”: Lind was the Brittonic name for Lincoln, meaning “pool” or “lake”, and the island was Lincoln itself, surrounded by fenland.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name lists Lindsey, Linsey, Lyndsay, Lyndsey, Lynsey and Linzi among its many spellings. Wikipedia notes that Lindsey has become mainly feminine in Australia, New Zealand and Scotland, while Lindsay is still a popular boys’ name there.
