Lincy is English in Origin.
Lincy is a modern respelling and diminutive of Lindsay/Lindsey, a Scottish surname–place name from the medieval district of Lindsey in Lincolnshire. The toponym stems from Old English Lindesege, interpreted as either island of the Lincoln people or linden-tree island. Moving from surname to given name in Scotland and England, it stayed broadly unisex for centuries and spread widely in the 19th and 20th centuries. In North America it became chiefly feminine by the late 20th century, encouraging creative spellings such as Lincy.
Today Lincy appears in English-speaking countries and in parts of South Asia via English influence. Related forms include Lindsey, Lindsay, Linsey, Lynsey, Linzi, and Linzy; short forms include Lin and Linds. The meaning evokes an island or meadow linked to Lincoln, or a linden grove, lending associations of shelter, growth, and steadfastness.
