Meaning and history of Lindaann
The given name Lindaann is a combination of two distinct names – Linda and Ann. The name Linda is derived from the Spanish name Belinda, which is a blend of the words "bella" meaning beautiful and "linda" meaning pretty. The origins of the name Linda can be traced back to the Germanic name Rosalinda, which was a compound of the words "ros" meaning horse and "lind" meaning soft or tender.
Ann is a name of Hebrew origin, derived from the Hebrew name Hannah, which means "grace" or "favor." The name Ann gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the Middle Ages as a variant of the name Anne, which was the French form of the name Hannah.
While there are no notable historical references to the combined name Lindaann in ancient texts or religious scriptures, there have been several individuals who have borne these names separately throughout history. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Linda can be found in the 12th century, when it was used as a diminutive form of the name Belinda.
One of the most famous individuals named Linda was Linda Darnell, an American film actress who lived from 1923 to 1965. She was known for her roles in classic Hollywood movies such as "A Letter to Three Wives" and "Forever Amber."
Another notable figure with the name Linda was Linda Ronstadt, an American singer and songwriter born in 1946. She is widely regarded as one of the most influential and successful female singers of the 20th century, known for her diverse range of musical genres, including rock, country, and Latin.
As for the name Ann, one of the most famous historical figures to bear this name was Queen Anne of Great Britain, who ruled from 1702 to 1714. She was the second daughter of James II and VII and played a significant role in the unification of England and Scotland.
Another renowned individual named Ann was Anne Frank, the Jewish diarist who documented her experiences during the Holocaust in her diary, "The Diary of a Young Girl." Anne Frank was born in 1929 and tragically died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945.

FAQ
Lindaann: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Lindaann?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 53 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Lindaann going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 6,467,063 US residents.
Is Lindaann a common name?
We classify Lindaann as "Very Rare". It ranks above 55.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 79 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Lindaann most popular?
The single biggest year for Lindaann was 1952, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Lindaann is about 72 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Lindaann in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Lindaann a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Lindaann in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Lindaann still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Lindaann in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Lindaann can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
