Lynde, of Norman origin, signifies 'from Lindum', an ancient name for Lincolnshire, England. It was brought to America by early settlers and has since been a rare but enduring choice in the English-speaking world.
"Lynde experienced a significant rise in popularity from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, peaking with 27 births in 1980 and 21 births each in 1979 and 1981. However, it has since declined, with fewer than 10 births recorded per year from 1988 onwards."
