Lindy is a gender-neutral name of Spanish and German origin. It translates to “soft,” “tender,” or “beautiful,” drawing inspiration from the German lind and the Spanish linda. Lindy is most commonly known as a shortened version of a number of names. Parents may also know it from the Lindy Hop, a lively swing dance that began in African American communities in Harlem, New York. Lindy’s natural levity carries with it a cool factor of cultural significance, which makes it stand out as so much more than a nickname.
