Lyndlie is a modern, rare respelling of the English surname-turned-forename Lindley/Lynley, ultimately from Old English linde “linden, lime tree” and leah “wood, clearing, meadow.” The sense is “linden clearing” or “lime-tree meadow,” evoking a leafy settlement. As a toponymic surname, Lindley is documented around medieval Yorkshire and Derbyshire and later spread through England. Lyndlie is sometimes mistaken for Lindsay, but that name has a different root (“Lincoln’s island”).

As a given name, forms of Lindley/Lynley appear sporadically from the late 19th century and gained notice in the late 20th century alongside the boom in surname names and -ley/-leigh endings; Lyndlie remains uncommon and reads chiefly feminine, though the base name is unisex.
