Belinda Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Old German Betlindis; the second element is the Old German lindi ‘a snake', which formed the second element of a very great number of f. names; the meaning of the first element is uncertain. The name was perpetuated in the Charlemagne romances as that of Orlando’s wife, but was not taken into ordinary use. Pope's use of it for the heroine of his Rape of the Lock, and Tate’s in Dido and Aeneas, started a literary fashion, and it was occasionally used as a christian name in the 18th and 19th C (e.g. Maria Edgeworth’s successful novel Belinda 1801).
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
‘originally the property of the wife of Orlando, was chosen by Pope for his heroine of Rape of the Lock’ (Yonge); the titular heroine of a novel by Maria Edgeworth; and that niece to whom, on her marriage, Mr. John Jorrocks promised £1,000 every time she should give birth to twins. In Italian, she is a serpent.
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
A female name. It may be from It. Bella Linda; or corrupted from bellino, a diminutive of bello, beautiful.
— Prænomina (1882) by Richard Stephen Charnock
A Latin name, meaning: Sinuous: literally beautiful serpent, but inasmuch as the snake was an emblem of wisdom among the ancients, the name has creditable significance.
