Linda is a female given name, of German origin, but widespread in the English-speaking world since the end of the nineteenth century. The German name ''Linde'' was originally an abbreviated form of older names such as ''Dietlinde'' and ''Sieglinde''. In the form ''Linda'' it was used by the writer Jean Paul for a leading character in his four-volume novel '' Titan'', published 1800–1803, and it became popular in German-speaking countries thereafter. The name-element ''Linde'' is possibly derived from the same root as the linden tree, with reference to a shield made of that wood, but may have become associated with Germanic ''lind'' meaning "soft, tender", the image of the tree being used to indicate a gentle personality.
