Olinde is French in Origin.

Olinde is a rare French and Germanic given name rooted in the medieval compound Odelinde/Adelinde. The first element is traced to Old High German ōd/odal “wealth, heritage” (sometimes blended with adal “noble”), while the second, lind(e), means “gentle, mild” and also denotes the linden tree (and, by extension, a shield of linden wood). Together the name is read as “noble and gentle” or “gentle of noble lineage.”

Documented in Germanic records through cognates, Olinde appears in France from the 18th–19th centuries, most notably borne by the thinker and banker Benjamin Olinde Rodrigues (1795–1851). Usage has remained uncommon, with occasional appearances in France and neighboring regions, and today it is an unusual, quietly traditional choice. Related forms and variants include Odelinde, Adelinde, Olinda (Portuguese/Spanish feminine), Olindo (Italian masculine), Oline, and the short forms Linde, Lindy, and Lina. The name has seen both feminine and masculine use.
