History and Origin
Linnéa or Linnea is a female given name of Swedish origin.
It has two derivations, both of which are linked to the famous 18th-century Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus, who was ennobled as Carl von Linné later in life. Primarily, people have named their children in his honor; Linnaeus and Linné have been used as given names, usually for boys, and simple modification makes the name gender female. Secondarily, people have named their children after the twinflower Linnaea; which was itself named to honor Linnaeus. Linnaeus' family name in turn is derived from the Swedish word "Lind", the linden (lime tree).
