Belinda Name meanings & History

The meaning of this name is not known for certain. The first element could be related to Italian bella meaning "beautiful". The second element could be Old German lind meaning "soft, flexible, tender" (and by extension "snake, serpent"). This name first arose in the 17th century, and was subsequently used by Alexander Pope in his poem The Rape of the Lock (1712). Belinda is used mainly as a girl's name, but it can also be used as a surname. It is more popular in English-speaking countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
