Linda has various meanings. Beautiful, pretty, tender and soft. Wait, clean, birth and fertility. All great meanings for a beautiful woman.

Linda is also a Zulu name used in South Africa, it's a unisex name meaning 'wait' in English. I'm not sure of it's origin.

There certainly are a lot of different meanings for the name Linda and I would offer that the meaning comes from whether it is a stand alone name or a form of Belinda, Rosalinda, Melinda, or? A Spanish woman I knew put the letters Er in front of it, so.. Erlinda.

Linda (spelt just like that) is found in several Bantu speaking groups in east, south east and southern Africa. It means "wait".

Actually, Linda does not mean "Beautiful" in Spanish, it simply means, "Pretty."

I read a long time ago that in Old English -- which I might add is a totally different language than our English, King James's English is considered modern English -- that Linda meant lime tree.

Linda or linden is another name for lime tree. In Berlin there is a famous street called Unter den Linden (under the limes).
It's nice to believe that every girl's name means "beautiful", but there's nothing wrong with it being a tree.

Despite the association with the Spanish 'Linda' meaning beautiful, it's origin is almost certainly Germanic instead.

Though Linda means "beautiful" in Spanish, the name is not associated with beauty in non-speaking Spanish countries.
