Lynde is English in Origin.
Lynde is an English surname-turned-given name from Middle English linde “linden/lime tree,” ultimately Old English lind. In Germanic naming, lind also meant “soft, gentle,” a sense behind Linda/Lynda, with Lynde sometimes treated as a polished variant in that circle. Through proximity to Lynn/Lynne, it is also occasionally read via Welsh llyn “lake.”
Recorded as a surname in medieval England and carried to North America, Lynde entered given-name use in the late 19th and early 20th centuries amid the surname-as-first-name trend. Usage stays rare and largely unisex. Related forms and variants include Lind, Linde, Lynd, Lynn, Lynne, Linda, Lynda, Lyndon, and diminutives Lyndi/Lyndy. Core meanings evoked are “linden tree” and “gentle,” with a secondary “lake” reading by Lynn association.
