Galinda Origin and Meaning

The name Galinda is a girl's name meaning "soft singing voice".

The original name of Glinda from Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked and the subsequent Broadway musical. She drops the 'a' from her name to honor a goat, who mispronounced her name as a Glinda.

As a name, it comes from the Germanic element gal meaning "to sing" and lind meaning "soft, tender", which come together to make a music inspired name.
