Lyndey is English in Origin.

Lyndey is a contemporary respelling of the surname-given name Lindsey/Lindsay, which descends from the medieval Scottish family name de Lindsay. That surname points back to Lindsey in Lincolnshire, England, from Old English Lindesege, “Lincoln’s island/district” (Lindum + ēg, “island”). Through the powerful Clan Lindsay, the name traveled from Norman-era England into Scotland and then into broader English usage.

As a given name, it emerged in the late 19th century and became firmly unisex, surging for girls in the 1970s–1990s while remaining occasional for boys. Lyndey represents a modern, streamlined twist favored by parents seeking a familiar sound with distinctive spelling; it appears sporadically in the U.S., U.K., and Australia (helped by Australian media figure Lyndey Milan). Close variants include Lindsey, Lindsay, Lyndsey, Lyndsay, and Linsey; nicknames and short forms include Lindy, Linds, and Linnie.
