Lyndi

Lyndi is an English feminine name functioning as a variant spelling of Lindi or Lindy, themselves diminutive forms of Linda or Belinda. Linda derives from Germanic roots, most likely from the element lind, meaning soft or tender, though it was also reinforced by the Spanish word for beautiful. The name gained broad popularity in the mid-twentieth century across English-speaking countries, and Lyndi represents a later phonetic respelling of its familiar short form. Related forms include Lindy, Lindi, and Lynda.
