Lindsay (male)

Feminine form:Lindsay (F)
   
Source(s): FreeCEN 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire
"Scottish Forenames" - Donald Whyte, FGH, FSG
Notes:

Scottish and English male and female name, from the surname which is from Old English for "Lincoln(shire) wetlands". Nowadays Lindsay is more frequently a girl's name.

Although Lindsay was originally mainly a Scottish surname, the forename has very few occurrences in the 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire. None of the variant spellings nor those of Linsay occur.
