Lindon Origin and Meaning

The name Lindon is a boy's name.

Lindon is a masculine name with English origins, derived from the Old English 'lind' meaning 'linden tree' or 'lime tree,' combined with 'dun' meaning 'hill.' It originated as a topographical surname for someone who lived near a hill covered with linden trees before transitioning to use as a given name. Similar to the more common Lyndon (famously borne by U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson), Lindon offers a slightly different spelling while maintaining the same pleasant sound. The name has never reached high popularity but maintains steady, modest usage, particularly in English-speaking countries. Lindon conveys a natural, rustic quality while still feeling refined and distinguished. Its connection to both natural elements—trees and hills—gives it an earthy appeal for parents drawn to names with environmental associations.
