Linea is Latin, Scandinavian, Swedish in Origin.

Linea is a Scandinavian feminine name, a streamlined spelling of Linnea/Linnéa, from the botanical Linnaea borealis, the delicate “twinflower.” The flower’s genus honors the 18th-century Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus (from the Swedish surname Linné), so the name carries the twin senses of nature imagery and scientific homage. Meaning is typically given as “twinflower,” with connotations of grace and resilience. Linea appears especially in Danish, Norwegian, and international use where the diacritic and double n are dropped.

As a given name, Linnea/Linnéa has been used in Sweden since the late 19th century and rose markedly across Scandinavia in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, aligning with broader botanical-name trends and then spreading into English-speaking countries. Variants and spellings include Linnéa, Linnea, Linea, and Linéa; diminutives or short forms include Lina and Nea. Related names include Lina and the surname-derived Linnaeus.
