What Does the Name Lynsi Mean?
Lynsi is a spelling variant of Lindsey, an English habitational name meaning "from Lindsey in Lincolnshire." The surname comes from the place name Lindsey in Lincolnshire, England. Early forms of the place name include Lindissi, and its second element is usually identified as Old English ēg, "island" or "dry land in a marsh." The first element is commonly connected with Lindum, the Roman name of Lincoln, which is itself often derived from a Brittonic word for a pool. On that reading the place name means "island of Lindum" or "island of the pool." The derivation is not certain; another explanation links the first element to Old English lind, "lime tree," yielding "lime-tree island." Lynsi has no separate etymology apart from this parent name.
