Lind is a name of Scandinavian origin, derived from Old Norse elements 'lynd' meaning 'limber, pliant'. It was traditionally used as a surname but has become more common as a given name in recent years. Lind is often associated with the Swedish ski resort and is also known as the family name of the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh.
"The name Lind appears to have had intermittent popularity over the years, with a spike in usage during the 1920s and another peak in the mid-20th century."
