Lindsay

A name with English origins, the meaning of Lindsay is 'Lincoln's marsh' or an 'island of linden trees'. It is also a name with Scottish roots, as the name translates to 'a place of linden trees', 'a lake' or 'from the island of the lime tree'. While it was once traditionally only considered a name for baby boys, it soon became a gender-neutral and unisex name.

There have been a number of famous figures with the name, like the American actress Lindsay Lohan. She rose to fame after playing both of the twins in the hit Disney comedy 'The Parent Trap'.
