Lyndy is a feminine name that will steal your heart in just a hop, skip, and a jump. Though it's spelled differently from Lindy of Lindy Hop fame, Lyndy still twirls off the tongue and looks beautiful on the page. It's a shortened form of Lynda, Linda's closest variant, and shares its definitions of "soft," "tender," and "flexible" from the German lind. In Spanish and Portuguese, the word linda means "beautiful," so don't be surprised if your Lyndy is elegant, graceful, and quick, even when they're running towards mischief! As they grow, their name will remind them that there are many ways to get tasks done or achieve big goals, from slow and gentle action to sudden energy bursts.
