What is the meaning of the name linnzi ?

linnzi is English, Scottish in Origin.

Linnzi is a modern, embellished spelling of Linzi, itself a phonetic short form of Lindsay/Lindsey. The root is the Scottish surname Lindsay, taken from the English toponym Lindsey in Lincolnshire. That place-name goes back to Old English Lindesege: Lind- from Latinized Lindum (ultimately Brittonic lindo, "pool"), plus -eg/ey, "island," yielding the sense "island of Lincoln" or "island by the pool." Clan Lindsay carried the name into medieval Scotland, from which the given name later evolved.

As a first name, Lindsay/Lindsey became common in the late nineteenth and especially the twentieth century, used for both sexes but trending feminine in the UK and North America after the 1960s. Linzi rose in Britain in the 1970s-80s; the rarer Linnzi keeps the LIN-zee pronunciation while adding distinctive style. Related spellings include Lindsay, Lindsey, Lynsey, Lyndsey, Linsey, Lynzi, Lyndzi, and Linzi. Meaning: "from Lindsey; Lincoln's/'pool's' island."
