Linnea as a name
Linnea is a Scandinavian name that is derived from the name of a type of flower called the twinflower, or Linnaea borealis. The name is a combination of the surname of the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus, who named the flower after himself, and the Greek word “linnaios,” which means “flaxen.”
Linnea is a beautiful and unique name that is not very common outside of Scandinavia. It has a lovely sound and a natural, floral meaning that may be appealing to parents who appreciate nature-inspired names. The name can be pronounced as lin-NAY-ah or lin-NEE-ah, depending on the individual’s preference.
