Linzy is English, Scottish in Origin.

Linzy is a modern English given name and surname spelling of Lindsey/Lindsay, ultimately taken from the Lincolnshire place name. The toponym goes back to Old English Lindesege, “island/ey of the Lindissi,” a people centered on Roman Lincoln (Lindum); it is also popularly reinterpreted as “linden-tree island” from lind + ēg. As a transferred surname, it carries the sense “from Lindsey; from the linden island,” linking the bearer to the historic district and the medieval Kingdom of Lindsey, later associated with Scottish Clan Lindsay.

As a first name, Linzy is unisex. Lindsay/Lindsey appeared as male in medieval Scotland, then shifted toward predominantly female use in the Anglophone world, peaking for girls in the United States during the 1980s–1990s. Linzy arose as a late‑20th‑century phonetic variant and remains uncommon. Related forms include Lindsay, Lindsey, Linsey, Lynsey, Lyndsey, and Linzi; nicknames include Lin and Lindy.
