Lindlars

Lindlars is a surname of Scandinavian origin. It is likely a compound derived from the given name Lars, common in the region, combined with a second element such as lind, meaning linden tree, or a toponymic marker. The result is a name that may have originated as a patronymic or as an identifier tied to a location associated with linden groves.

The surname is relatively uncommon, with its highest concentration historically in Sweden. Smaller numbers appear in Norway and Denmark, reflecting regional naming practices and mobility within the Nordic countries. In modern times, bearers of Lindlars can be found in North America and other regions through migration and diaspora.

Spelling variants may arise in records due to orthographic practices, leading to forms that differ across languages and time periods. In genealogical and historical sources, Lindlars is typically treated as a surname rather than a given name.
