Lyndie is English in Origin.

Lyndie is a modern English diminutive, a stylized spelling of Lindy used as a pet form of several names. It most often shortens Linda, Belinda, or Melinda - names tied to the Germanic element lind (“soft, tender,” also “linden tree”) and colored by the Spanish adjective linda, “pretty.” Lyndie can also contract Lindsay/Lindsey, the Scottish surname-from-place derived from Old English Lindesege, “Lincoln’s island,” from Latin Lindum + eg “island.”

As an independent given name, Lyndie surfaced in the mid–late 20th century in the United States and other Anglophone countries, buoyed first by the Linda boom and later by the unisex vogue for Lindsey. It reads playful and breezy, with a vintage-nickname charm. Close variants include Lindy, Lindi, Lindie, Lyndi, Lyndy, and Lyndee; related longer forms are Linda, Belinda, Melinda, and Lindsay/Lindsey. Depending on its source, the name carries meanings of “tender/pretty” or “Lincoln’s island.”
