Linnae

US Popularity Rank: 11710

Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: Lime or linden tree; Twinflower

Linnae is a girl's name of Scandinavian origin, related to the name Linnea, meaning “lime or linden tree” and “twinflower.” Parents foraging for a floral appellation with a distinct spelling may love Linnae's idyllic vibe. The 18th-century Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus' favorite flower was the twinflower (aka Linnaea borealis), which later became his emblem. Linnaeus is the Latinization of the Swedish word lind, which is how Linnae gets its delightful association with lime trees. Whether you love its connection with flora or can feel in your bones baby has a green thumb, Linnae is a graceful choice for your little blossom.
