Lind is a delicate-sounding gender-neutral name strengthened by its links to nature. Most recognizable as a Swedish surname, Lind stems from the Germanic linde, meaning “lime tree” or “gentle” and “mild.” As an Estonian surname-turned-personal name, Lind has the light and fluttering meaning of “bird,” for when baby’s coos sound like birdsong in the air.
