Help[Facts] Re: Attn:- Miranda
in reply to a message by BobbY Darin
Yes, I knew Lynn meant "lake" in Welsh, and that the given name ordinarily derives from the Welsh source. Another source could be the Old English element lin "flax", but I don't think that'd be common.
Lindo's an interesting name. I think it's also conceivable that it could derive from Old English lindi "snake" or linde/lind "lime tree" or the Germanic lind "serpent"/"dragon" or linde "soft"/"tender". I think Lindo would make a great masculine form of Linda today too.
The ancients sure liked their lin- elements, didn't they?
And you're welcome about the Trinity issue.
EDIT: Hit send too soon, forgot last sentence.
