Orlinda

Meaning of Orlinda

Orlinda, pronounced or-LIN-duh, is a distinctive female given name of Hispanic-Latin derivation that marries the Spanish oro (“gold”) with linda (“beautiful”), yielding the evocative meaning “golden beauty.” First recorded in U.S. Social Security data in 1915, it maintained a modest but steady presence through the mid-20th century, with annual birth counts typically in the single digits and rankings fluctuating between the mid-600s and low-700s from the 1930s into the early 1970s. Though never widespread, its rare usage underscores an understated elegance and cultural depth, appealing to parents seeking a name that carries both classical resonance and luminous, Spanish-inflected warmth.
