What is the meaning of the name Lonnea ?

Lonnea is English in Origin.

Lonnea is a modern, rare spelling of the Scandinavian name Linnea, ultimately linked to the botanical genus Linnaea, named for the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus. The given name in Sweden is written Linnéa and is associated with Linnaea borealis, the delicate "twinflower," so the most common meaning is twinflower; by extension, it also carries the cultural resonance of the linden tree from Linnaeus's surname (from Swedish lind, "linden").

As a given name, Linnéa rose with 19th-century Nordic nature-name trends and became widely used across Sweden, Norway, and Finland, later gaining modest recognition in English-speaking countries. Lonnea represents an English-language creative variant, swapping o for i while retaining the same pronunciation family, and remains uncommon in records. Close variants include Linnea, Linnéa, Lynnea, and Linnaea; related short forms are Nea, Nia, Lin, and Lina. The name evokes simplicity and Nordic flora, pairing well with classic or nature-inspired middles.
