There is no evidence regarding the meaning of the name "Linda," and it is most likely a foreign name. Therefore, it should not be used for naming unless its meaning is known, as it might carry a bad meaning or a slogan that contradicts religion and morals. If it becomes clear that its meaning is good, then there is no objection to naming with it, though it is preferable to name children with well-known, good names.
