Linzie, of Scottish origin, is an uncommon yet charming unisex given name. It is often considered a modern variant or diminutive of Linley, which itself is derived from Lincoln, a city in England. In Scotland, the name may also be linked to the Scottish surname Lindsay, which has Norman origins and means "bright, fair." The name Linzie consists of two elements: 'Lin-' possibly from Lincoln or Lincolnshire, and '-zie' which is a popular diminutive suffix. It first gained popularity in the 20th century but remains relatively rare today, adding to its uniqueness.
"Linzie saw its peak popularity during the late 1920s to early 1930s with over nine births each year between 1927 and 1932. However, it has remained relatively uncommon throughout most of the century, with fewer than ten occurrences in any given year."
