Belinde

The first name Belinde is a female name that originates from English and has an unclear origin and meaning. It is believed to be a shortened form of the old German two-part name Betlindis, which means 'a fair fight' or 'the radiant gentle one.'

What does the name Belinde mean?

As mentioned, the first name Belinde has English roots and is not clearly defined. One possible derivation is the short form of the historical name Betlindis, which translates to 'a fair fight' or 'the radiant gentle one' as well as 'the famous bearer of the linden wood shield.' The first component may derive either from the Old Germanic *badu, meaning 'the fight,' or from the Old High German beraht, meaning 'radiant,' 'shining,' and 'famous.' The second part, consisting of Old High German elements, can be lind for 'mild,' 'soft,' 'supple,' 'delicate,' 'gentle,' or 'friendly,' or linta for 'the linden' or 'the linden wood shield.' Alternatively, Belinde could also mean 'the beautiful,' 'the pretty,' or 'the good-looking.' In this case, the origins would be found in the Latin bellus, the Old Italian bella, or the Old Spanish linda, all of which can be translated as 'beautiful,' 'pretty,' and 'good-looking.' Another spelling is Belinda.
