Lineah is Scandinavian in Origin.
Lineah is a modern Anglicized variant of the Scandinavian name Linnéa, taken from the delicate twinflower (Linnaea borealis), long a Swedish emblem and the personal symbol of botanist Carl Linnaeus (Linné). Because Linnaeus’s surname relates to the linden (lime) tree, the name conveys both “twinflower” and “linden tree” associations. The spelling Lineah softens the double-n of Linnea and mirrors English -ah endings while preserving the original sense.
Usage of Linnea spread in Sweden and Norway from the late 19th century and surged again at the turn of the 21st century; in English-speaking countries, Lineah and kin remain uncommon but increasingly recognized. Established variants include Linnéa, Linnea, Linneah, Linea, Lynnea; short forms Nea and Lina are also used. Related nature names include Linnaea, though Lineah is most closely tied to the twinflower.
