Linna

Linna is a girl’s name with a variety of roots. Possibly a spin on the Old English Linden, meaning “lime” or “linden tree,” this name has clear roots in Northern Europe. The linden tree is commonly found throughout Sweden, Norway, and Denmark and is used in tea to relieve those suffering from anxiety. With such calming connotations, baby Linna is sure to comfort others in their time of need.

Linna is also a Finnish name that translates to “fort” or “castle,” instilling a sense of royalty and protection in the title. There may also be links to the Old Irish word linn, which means “pool,” “pond,” or “space of time.” If you’re looking for a name with a floral touch, Linna may also have links to the Swedish Linnéa, which is another word for the twinflower. With all these meanings packed in one title, your little Linna will have plenty of encouragement to carry with them.
