Elinda is in Origin.
Elinda is a rare feminine given name often explained as an elaboration of Linda with the El- prefix seen in Eleanor, Elise, and Elena. Linda itself derives either from the Germanic element lind "soft, tender; linden tree" or, in Spanish and Portuguese, the adjective linda "pretty, lovely," so Elinda is commonly read as "tender/pretty" or simply "very beautiful." Some also link it to Alinda, an ancient toponym of Greek origin, and to Scandinavian Elin-based patterns.
Sporadically recorded in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and Latin America since the mid-20th century, the name likely rose with the Linda boom and the fashion for -linda/-lindra elaborations. Variants and related forms include Elynda, Ellinda, Alinda, Belinda, Melinda, and Elina/Elena as related El- names; nicknames Ellie, Lina, and Lindy. Though never common in English-speaking countries, Elinda offers a mellifluous, international alternative to classic El- names with a sweet meaning.
