Linni is English, Scandinavian in Origin.
Linni is a Scandinavian and English diminutive used for several names in the Lin-/Lind- family, notably Linnéa, Linda, Linn/Lynn, and Lina. Its roots trace to the Germanic element lind, meaning “linden tree” and by extension “soft, gentle,” as well as to Swedish Linnéa, the “twinflower” named for botanist Carl Linnaeus. As a standalone given name, Linni carries these associations of nature, mildness, and grace while keeping a bright, modern sound.
Usage appears in Norway and Sweden as a familiar form, with the -i ending typical of Nordic nicknames; Norwegian media personality Linni Meister reflects this contemporary profile. In English-speaking records, the close variant Linnie was moderately used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Variant spellings include Linny and Linnie; related names are Linn, Lynnie, Lynn, Lina, Linda, and Linnea.
