Lindon

Meaning of Lindon

Lindon, pronounced LIN-dən, is an English name that springs from the Old English words for “linden tree” and “hill,” conjuring images of a windswept grove where young saplings reach skyward. Over time it has carried a whisper of natural elegance—think sun-dappled afternoons beneath leafy canopies—and even a touch of literary magic for Tolkien fans who know Lindon as the Elven realm by the sea. Warm yet distinctive, Lindon has been planting its roots steadily in American birth records, drifting into the top 1,000 newborn boys’ names these past few years and settling at No. 914 in 2024. Parents who choose Lindon are gifting their son a name both grounded in heritage and poised for growth, one that suggests resilience, quiet confidence, and the promise of new beginnings.
