Lindsey is English in Origin.
Lindsey is an English toponymic surname turned given name, taken from the historic district of Lindsey in Lincolnshire. The place-name derives from Old English Lindesege/Lindesīġ, ‘island or marshland of the Lincoln people,’ with ēg ‘island’; the initial element relates to Roman Lindum (Lincoln), from a Brittonic word for ‘pool.’ The frequent ‘linden tree’ interpretation is a later folk etymology.
As a forename it began chiefly on boys via the Scottish surname Lindsay - prominent through the medieval Clan Lindsay - then settled as a modern unisex choice. In the United States it shifted strongly female in the 1970s–90s, peaking for girls yet never vanishing for boys. Established variants include Lindsay (older and surname-preferred), Lyndsey, Lynsey, Lyndsay, and Linsey; short forms such as Lindy also appear.
