Comments (Meaning / History Only)

'Lind' means lime-tree in Old English and was sometimes used poetically to refer to a shield made of that type of wood. Ethelinda could therefore mean Noble Shield.
It should be noted that dragons were often referred to as "snakes" in Germanic mythology.
May also be 'linde' = soft, tender.
