Later misassociated with unrelated Spanish linda (“beautiful”). The name became known through 19th century literature and the opera Linda di Chamounix (1842). More at lithe.
The coordination language is named after Linda Lovelace, a reference to the programming language Ada, itself named after Ada Lovelace.
