Meaning: Lindsie means 'island of linden trees'.

Lindsie is a variant spelling of the name Lindsay, which has Scottish origins and is derived from the surname Lindsay. 'Lindsie' is a modern variant of the name 'Lindsey,' which is derived from the historical region of Lindsey, but it does not originally refer to that region itself., known for its marshlands and connection to the ancient Celtic name for the area, which means "island of linden trees." Over time, the name has transitioned from being predominantly masculine to being predominantly feminine in the United States. This shift reflects changing societal attitudes towards gender-neutral names. Historically, Lindsey was used as a surname and later adopted as a given name, primarily for males. However, by the 1970s, it began to be used more frequently for females. Today, Lindsie is a less common variant but still carries the rich heritage and meaning associated with Lindsay.
