Lundy is English, Norse in Origin.
Lundy is an English given name taken from the toponym and surname Lundy, best known from Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel. The island’s name derives from Old Norse lundi “puffin” + ey “island,” giving the vivid meaning “puffin island.” Some Scottish bearers trace the surname to the place-name Lundie (Angus), possibly from Old Norse lundr “grove” or a Brittonic root, offering a secondary sense of “grove/wood.” These strands lend the name a maritime, nature-rich character.
Used as a transferred surname since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lundy remains rare and comfortably unisex in English-speaking countries. It suits contemporary tastes for short, breezy, two-syllable names ending in -y. Recorded variants and related forms include Lundie, Lunday, Lunde, and the geographic spelling Lundey; diminutives are uncommon, though Lun or Lundi sometimes appear informally.
