Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Linda vznikla ako osamostatnená skrátená podoba germánskych zložených mien obsahujúcich prvok lind, napríklad Sieglinde, Dietlinde či Rosalinde. Tento prvok sa vykladá najmä vo význame „jemná, mierna, poddajná“. Formálna zhoda so španielskym a portugalským prídavným menom linda vo význame „pekná, krásna“ je druhotná a nepredstavuje samostatný pôvod mena.
