Minda is English, Lithuanian, Tagalog in Origin.
Minda is a rare feminine given name in English, most often a short form of Melinda, Miranda, Belinda, or the Iberian Arminda. Records show it in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as both an independent name and a nickname, with modest use in the United States and the British Isles and occasional appearance in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking families. In the Baltic sphere, Minda can surface informally as a clipped form of the masculine Mindaugas, though this is a separate usage.
Meanings echo its source names: from Melinda (Greek meli “honey” + Germanic lind “soft, tender”/Spanish linda “pretty”), from Miranda (Latin mirandus “worthy of admiration”), and from Belinda (often interpreted as “beautiful, soft; linden tree”). Variants and related forms include Mindy/Mindi, Mynda, and Mindie, alongside the longer Melinda, Miranda, Belinda, and Arminda. Overall, Minda carries connotations of sweetness, gentleness, and admiration.
