What does the name Linda mean?

Either 'beautiful'(spanish) or a short form of Belinda or Melinda. It can also mean 'snake' or 'serpent' from Germanis 'linds'. The serpent signified wisdom in Germanic legend.

All I know is that Linda means beautiful is spanish. You can go to various websites on names for girls and it will tell you the meanings of girl names. Linda may be spanish but it can also be another nationality. Mine is Japanese which means beautiful. I later learned that it's also African which means facial wash and Hawaiian which means sunrise.
