Lindia, of Scandinavian origin, is a unique and captivating feminine given name. It is derived from the Old Norse word ' lind ', which means 'limb' or 'branch', symbolizing growth and resilience. Lindia was introduced in the late 20th century, offering a fresh alternative to more traditional Scandinavian names like Linda or Line. Its phonetic structure, with the soft 'i' sound at the end, adds a playful touch, making it both distinctive and approachable.
